EXPLANATION OF NUMERATION.
The system of numeration will be easily understood, as the
heavy numbers such as 44 and 45 on the left side of page 207
precede heads of families and have been repeated from pages
179 and 180, where they appear as light faced figures preceding
the same names as children of the families of numbers J8 and J9.
Similarly the light faced figures, 106, 107 and 108 on page 207 will
be found repeated as heavy faced figures on pages 260 and 261,
preceding the same Christian names as before, but as heads of
families. Thus one can trace lines either way through the book.
The small numerals just above, and to the right of the names,
indicate the generation.
ERRATA.

PREFACE.
To the Wakeman Family:
This genealogy is offered to the family with a feeling that it is
very far short of what a good and complete history of the family
should be; and while some of the statistical omissions are
owing to a lack of ability on the part of the author to procure
them from various records, a part of this is owing to loss or
the destruction of records of churches or towns, and of valuable
papers belonging to earlier members of the family ; a notable case
being the burning a very few years ago of pamphlets and papers
that formerly belonged to the Rev. Samuel Wakeman by a New
York city teacher, to whom they descended. These papers, etc.,
would have sold for considerable money. The scattering of our
family in nearly every state of the Union, many moving and
leaving little or no clew, has been another obstacle.
The work had its inception in data left the writer by his
father, which included only his direct line ; and at the time that
the writer was adding to it he met the Rev. Levi H. Wake-
man of Stamford, Conn., who had collected considerable his-
torical matter from colonial records, which he contributed to the
work.
From this start search was made through various church and
town records, and many families in the old home town of Fair-
field, Conn., were seen, also the addresses of others were pro-
cured and written to, so that gradually an accumulation of data
was made. This was followed up with reasonable diligence from
1874 to about 1880, and from replies obtained, more addresses
were added to the list. During the time from 1880 to 1895 com-
paratively little progress was made, and in the early part of 1896
it was thought that the data on hand should be rearranged, show-
ing just where further data was needed.
In doing this it was found necessary to write to some of the
parties. From their replies and from many directories many
addresses were procured and circulars sent out. Mr. F. E. Sands,
4 PREFACE.
a Meriden member of the family, offered to assist by furnishing
the blanks and circulars needed, and has rendered material aid.
Mrs. B. Wheaton Clark, of Lockport, N. Y., has also been dili-
gent in collecting data regarding the family. Rev. J. B. Wake-
man, of Rock Rift, N. Y., Mrs. Lydia Gould, of Sidney, N. Y.,
Mr. G. B. Wakeman, of Unadilla, N. Y., Mrs. Mary Wakeman,
of Lawyersville, N. Y., and many others have helped very much
in the matter.
When, in June, 1897, it was thought best to start a more active
research as to our English ancestry, subscriptions were asked for
to defray this expense, and the responses have resulted in our
procuring English data desired at about one-tenth what many have
paid for similar results. Contributions for this work were re-
ceived from the following:
Mrs. W. D. Gookin, Southport, Conn.
Mrs. C. B. Tompkins, of New York City.
Mr. Jesup Wakeman, of New York City.
Mr. Samuel Wakeman, of Ballston Spa, N. Y.
Mr. J. Finlay Wakeman, of Ballston Spa, N. Y.
Dr. Emory McClintock, of New York City.
Mrs. E. B. Proctor, of Boston, Mass.
Mr. W. B. Wakeman, of Arcadia, La.
Mrs. W. B. VanWagenen, of Southport, Conn.
Mrs. A. M. Longacre, of Philadelphia, Pa.
Mrs. W. W. Wakeman, of Southport, Conn.
Miss Cornelia W. Crapo, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
Mrs. L. B. C. Evans, of New York City.
Messrs. J. F. and Samuel Wakeman, of Ballston Spa, also col-
lected valuable inscriptions from cemeteries that were of assist-
ance.
Mr. Edward Deacon, of the Fairfield County Historical
Society, has rendered invaluable aid and assistance, both in col-
lecting American data and in connection with the English
researches, which he was very well qualified to do, owing to his
thorough familiarity with English methods and sources of in-
formation.
Dr. Emory McClintock (a member of the family), of New
York City, has laid the family under great obligations to him
because of the great personal interest he has taken in the work,
giving to it the benefit of his researches in libraries, of a trip to
England, and of research there at a considerable expense of time
and money. He has also, by English correspondence and a
PREFACE. 5
liberal use of fees, procured much valuable information regarding
our early English ancestors, and has given us the benefit of his
scholarly mind and excellent understanding of such matters. To
those who may notice omissions, or who fail to see any family
names or dates that they think should appear in the book, we
would say that if they will send them to the writer at Southport,
Conn., he will see that they are arranged and printed on separate
sheets, to be gummed in the book at the proper place, stub leaves
being inserted for this purpose.
Thanking all who have helped in the matter, and asking the
charitable consideration of all for errors or omissions,
I am very truly your kinsman,
ROBERT P. WAKEMAN.

When thought and memory backward turn,
With love for all ancestral lore,
We find there's much that we can learn,
As research yields so rich a store.

Oh, yeomanry of early days !
Of Puritan New England's birth!
Ye brought across broad seas the ways
Of righteousness and sterling worth.
For ye were found in walks of life,
Where trust and honor were reposed,
Bearing your part in battle's strife
Ere the dark tomb your forms enclosed.
By you our sturdy laws were made
In early stern Colonial days,
With blue-law feature, strict and staid,
As Old New England's rigid ways.
While many followed arts of peace,
And preached the word, or tilled the land,
Erst as physicians, illness eased,
Or practiced law with vigorous hand.
Earnest and true the lives ye led ;
High was the goal of all your aims ;
Ye earned by toil your daily bread ;
With pride our history writes your names.

And now with reverence and respect
We tread the ways our fathers trod,
Pursuing on with zeal direct
The path to righteousness and God.

CHAPTER I.
ANCESTRY OF FRANCIS WAKEMAN.
THE word " Wakeman " is defined in Worcester's
* dictionary as "the title of the chief magistrate of
the town of Ripon, Yorkshire, England." It seems to
have meant "wide-awake man." At one time it was
pronounced as if to rhyme with Parkman, or rather with
what the latter would be — Pa'kman — if the "r" was
silent; but by about 1650 the pronunciation had
changed to " Wackman." At Ripon the title descended
from father to son and gave rise to the surname of
Wakeman.
From 1473 to 1479 William Wakeman was priest of
the chapel of St. Mary at Kidderminster, near the
northern border of Worcestershire. At the same time
John Wakeman lived at Drayion, a small hamlet some
four miles distant, in the rural parish of Chaddesley
Corbett. The family tradition, recorded by Burke,
makes them brothers, sons of a William Wakeman.
The same tradition states the name of John's wife as
Alice Wormelay.
The earliest pedigree now extant is that of the Wake-
man's of Beckford, in Gloucestershire. It is given in
several ancient manuscripts preserved in the British
Museum, and may be found in the "Gloucestershire
Visitations " published by the Harleian Society. Under
the Tudors and Stuarts it was customary for the heralds
to make tours or "visitations" throughout the various
counties of England, stopping at the houses of the gen-
try to bring their pedigree up to date and, when
necessary, to arrange for reviving or granting coats of
8 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
arms. Those who declined to pay their fees were regu-
larly listed as not entitled to be classed as gentlemen,
some of these lists being still preserved. In 1586 the
heralds granted to Richard Wakeman of Beckford a
coat of arms which, according to the "Blazonry
of Episcopacy," had belonged to his uncle, John
Wakeman, bishop of Gloucestershire, from 1541 to
1549. The names of their fathers and grandfathers
preserved in the "Visitation " may be accepted as hav-
ing been stated by them to the heralds, and probably
also those of elder brothers, as follows:
John Wakeman of Drayton,
William Wakeman of Drayton,
William Wakeman of Drayton, John Wakeman, bishop.
Roger Wakeman, Richard Wakeman.
William Wakeman,
Edward Wakeman.
The houses of the brothers Roger and Richard were
included at great length in the manuscripts, as the re-
sult of subsequent inquiries on the part of the heralds.
They also noted that the bishop's mother was an heiress
named Godespayne, aud that his brother William's wife
was of a family named Clarke, whose arms were
sketched. The Wakeman arms as recognized in the
" Visitation," for the families of both brothers, were
borne by Roger's descendants at Tewkesbury and by
Richard's at Beckford. They were engraved, for ex-
ample, in 1634 on a tomb in Tewkesbury church.
TEWKESBURY ABBEY.
Tewkesbury (or Theocsbury), dates from mediaeval
times, and the monastery (Anglo-Saxon) was of small
importance prior to the Norman conquest.
CENOTAPH OF BISHOP JOHN WAKEMAN.
(Now in Tewksbury Abbey.)
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. g
Robert Fitz-Hamon — one of the Norman nobles —
married a niece of William the Conqueror, and on the
death of the latter, his son bestowed upon Fitz-Hamon
the estates known as "the honor of Gloucester, "includ-
ed in which was Tewkesbury. Fitz-Hamon resolved to
build a great ''Abbey of Expiation," being- pricked by a
consciousness of wrongs done by him in his many wars.
The result of this resolve was the noble church. In the
fourteenth century the eastern portion was reconstruct-
ed, and in the Lancastrian Battle of Tewkesbury some
time later, the abbey was much destroyed. The recent
restoration was begun in 1875, and now shows (see il-
lustration) a restored structure. In 1539 most of the
abbey buildings were destroyed save Abbot Wakeman's
house. In the abbey is to be seen the beautifully deco-
rated cenotaph of Abbot Wakeman, the first Bishop of
Gloucester. (See cut.) A copy of this cenotaph was
exhibited in the Crystal Palace, London, 185 1.
John Wakeman, younger son of the first William,
was born before 1490, and at an early age entered a
monastery, because about 15 10 he was at Oxford as a
Benedictine monk, an inmate of Gloucestershire college,
then a house of that order. While a monk he bore the
name of John Wich, according to a custom then fre-
quently followed, by which monks were designated
after places from which they came. The name of Wich
has caused much speculation. An explanation not here-
tofore suggested is that his monastic career may have
begun at a house of Augustinian friars at Droitwich, not
far from his home, a town then known simply as Wich.
As he became abbot of Tewkesbury in 1 5 3 1 , he was
probably connected with Tewkesbury abbey before go-
ing to take his degree of B.D. at Oxford Tradition
had it that his mother was an heiress, which if true,
might help to account for his elevation ; but his learning,
his talent as a preacher, and his force of character, were
IO WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
grounds sufficient, apart from family influence. As
abbot he sat in the House of Lords, and attracting the
attention of Henry VIII., was appointed king's chap-
lain. The holding of this confidential position indicates
that he approved Henry's course in breaking up the
monasteries and pensioning their inmates, devoting
some of their lands to church and college purposes and
dividing the remainder among individuals, avowedly to
enlist so great an influence in favor of the change that
it could never be reversed. How effective this course
was, came to be proved wh^n Queen Mary discovered
that this alone of her father's religious changes was be-
yond her power to reverse Tewkesbury abbey was
dissolved in 1539, but the king's chaplain recovered his
seat in the House of Lords in 1541. when he became the
first bishop of the new see of Gloucester. He is said to
have been one of the early translators of the Bible.
Dying in 1549, he escaped the martyrdom which befell
his successor, Hooper, under Mary. The place of death
is uncertain, but was believed by Wood {At hence Ox-
onienses) to have been " Forthampton, where he had a
house and a private chapel " The house doubtless ap-
pertained to the bishopric, but if not, would have de-
scended to his legal heir, Roger. His will mentions
personal property only, which he left to two younger
brothers and their families.
As the king's chaplain was also a peer of the realm,
he must have been the most influential man in his own
part of England. Approving the distribution of the
monastery land, as he must have done, he could not
stand in the way of his own relatives without drawing
suspicion upon his private opinion of that method of
personal aggrandizement. We find, in fact, that his
near relatives removed from Drayton to Gloucestershire ;
his nephew, Roger, to Forthampton, where he died not
long after the bishop's death, and where there certainly

were monastery lands; his nephew, Richard, to the
lands of the priory of Beckford after its dissolution ; his
brother, Thomas, to South wick, a locality near Tewkes-
bury, which had been the property of the abbey; and
his brother, Richard, to the Mythe, an estate near
Tewkesbury, of which the earlier ownership is not
known. A little later the Mythe became the seat of
Roger's descendants, probably by purchase from those
of his uncle Richard.
Of Roger we learn from the " Visitation " that he
had an heir, William, and that he was himself an heir
to the family lands at Drayton, though apparently re-
siding elsewhere, as he is not described as " of Dray-
ton." He must have been the Roger Wakeman who
studied at All Souls' college, Oxford, about 151 6. His
will of 1552 describes his residence as at Forthampton,
and disposes of an amount of property which shows him
to have been better off than all others of his name at
that time. It names a wife, Joan, William, the eldest
son, and John and Thomas, younger sons, besides vari-
ous daughters, one of them named Anne; and enjoins
upon William to grant the Drayton lands to John on a
forty years' lease at the nominal annual rental of three
peppercorns, to begin after the death or marriage of
the wife Joan. William of Tewkesbury in his turn died
in 1587, leaving the Drayton lands to his heir Edward
by special mention in his will. These wills and the
" Gloucestershire Visitation " agree in all points.*
John Wakeman of Drayton, second son named in the
will of Roger, was living, obviously on his father's
property, in Chaddesley, for years before his father's
*Burke's account of the family arbitrarily assigns to this Roger the chil-
dren named in the -'Exeter Visitation," as having belonged to another
Roger ' of Woodrowe," a place not far from Drayton. The Exeter branch
secured the use of the bishop's arms by representing their ancestor Roger
of Woodrowe to have been his brother, as of course he may have been for
all that is known to the contrary.
12 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
death, and had doubtless been left in charge of the old
home when the rest of the bishop's family went to
Gloucestershire. By his father's will he was to have
the Drayton estate as his own property for forty years
after the death or marriage of the widow, but mean-
while he would be under the necessity of paying regular
rent to his eldest brother William. The situation was
not satisfactory, and soon after 1557 he removed with
his family from the parish. The names of his children
identify him perfectly. He was a son of Roger and
nephew of Richard (of Beckford), and had a sister
Anne; and the parish record of Chaddesley states that
on August 9, 1545, he married Joan , and that
his children were baptized as follows:
Roger, September 12, 1546; Anne, March 7, 1548-9;
John, May 10, 1552 (buried May 20, 1554); John
February 20, 1554-5; Richard, January 1, 1556-7
(buried February 15, 1556-7) No trace of any of the
five survivors is found later in the well-kept parish
register of Chaddesley, except that it bears evidence to
the subsequent return of the younger John, no doubt
after the beginning of the term of forty years during
which John of Drayton was to possess the ancestral
estate. The nature of the evidence relating to the re-
turn of the younger John cannot be indicated clearly
without due mention of other Wakemans then in the
parish.
In the reign of Elizabeth, Chaddesley Corbett, was,
as indeed it still is, a secluded rural parish. The chief
road through it ended at the next village. The ham-
lets of Chaddesley and Drayton, within the parish, were
almost too insignificant to be called villages. The roads
were wretched, and communication was difficult and in-
frequent. The nearest town worth mentioning was
Bewdley, seven miles distant. A book on heraldry
mentions Chaddesley with an expression of surprise
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.

that several families of importance named Wakeman,
in different counties, should trace their origin to this
obscure spot. That exodus had, however, already
taken place, and what was now left was the Drayton
estate and two poor relatives named Simon and Richard
Wakeman with their families Perhaps they were
brothers; Richard's wife was named Frances and both
named daughters Frances.* Their other daughters
need not be mentioned. Simon was married in 1557,
and his sons were Simon and William, who appear to
have removed early from the parish; and Simon him-
self died in 1589 or 1590. Richard's only son was John,
born 1569 and married 1594. Richard, who was a tailor,
died in 1598 or 1599, naming in his will as "kinsmen"
John Wakeman, Simon Wakeman, William Wakeman.
The sons of Simon last named were less important than
"John Wakeman," who was either some one who did
not belong to the parish, or else the present holder of
the Drayton estate. That it was the latter is indicated
by the record of the burial on February 10, 1591 or
1592, of Thomas Wakeman, son of John Wakeman. As
the Wakeman estate now belonged to John of Drayton,
apparently born about 1524, or to his children, one of
whom was John, born in Chaddesley in 1554 or 1555,
and as there is no chance worth discussing that any
strange Wakeman would come to a place like Chaddes-
ley, it is strongly probable that the estate was, in 1591,
in the possession of the younger John, who had returned,
bringing with him at least a son named Thomas.
The only Wakeman entries (mentioning males) in the
Chaddesley register, from its beginning in 1539 to the
present time, besides those already indicated (and the
baptism in 1545 of a child whose father lived in the next
*Simon's Frances was bur>ed as a daughter on April 17, 1571, thirty days
after her baptism as a son; a mistake just contrary to one at Bewdley in

daughter.
14 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
parish), are as follows: William (obviously of Bel-
broughton parish) married in Chaddesley in 1553;
Philip, son of Richard, baptized in 1592; John, son of
Francis, buried May 8, 1595; John Wakeman, buried
July 3, 1635. There is no baptism of any child of John,
son of Richard the tailor, who was married in 1594, nor
is there any note of his burial or that of his wife. He
must therefore have left the parish, like the sons of
Simon (the widows of Simon and Richard were both
buried elsewhere), leaving only John Wakeman, owner
of the Drayton estate — for forty years — as the sole rep-
resentative of the family in its ancient seat until his
death in 1635. There are only two entries unexplained
in this record of a century, the baptism of Philip, son
of Richard, and the burial of John, son of Francis.
Neither this Richard nor Francis belonged to the parish
(for the tailor Richard's wife Frances was too old to
have a child in 1592), so that both of them must have
been near relatives of the younger John Wakeman of
Drayton, and as such have had some right to make their
temporary home at his house. There was indeed no-
where else for them to go, unless to stay with old
Richard, the tailor, for Simon was dead and his family
scattered. The stranger Richard may probably have
been the third son named in his will by William of
Tewkesbury, and if so, he was cousin to the present
John of Drayton. Who Francis was remains to be seen.
There was no one of that name in the Tewkesbury
branch, nor does the closest search reveal any trace of
a Francis Wakeman elsewhere, except at Bewdley.
Meantime, what became of John of Drayton, the
father, who left Chaddesley with his wife Joan and his
children, Roger, Anne and John, in or soon after 1557?
Search elsewhere fails to show the presence of such a
family or any clue to it, except at Bewdley, in the
parish of Ribbesford, seven miles from Chaddesley.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 1 5
Unfortunately the parish register of Ribbesford dates
only from 1574, so that the death of the child Roger,
the marriage of Anne, and the baptism of a son Francis,
assuming them to have taken place at Bewdley, cannot
be proved by any extant record. What we do find is a
record of the burial, March 27, 1587, of "Joan, wife of
John Wakeman, the tanner," neither of them being
mentioned before or afterwards. And we know that
there was not then within many miles of Drayton
another place which John Wakeman could find so ad-
vantageous to a country gentleman's son seeking to bet-
ter himself as this very town of Bewdley close by.
Bewdley — Beau-lieu, " beautiful place " — on the far-
ther bank of the Severn, had been a royal residence in
earlier times, and the palace on the hill was still occa-
sionally visited by the Princess Elizabeth or some other
important personage. Its location at the only bridge
over the great river, and practically at the head of navi-
gation for the boats then in use, made it the chief com-
mercial and industrial town in that part of England,
next of course to Bristol, at the mouth of the same
river, which was then at the height of its prosperity as
the principal seaport of the country. Burton, the his-
torian of Bewdley, says that cap-making alone "at one
time afforded employment to probably 1,000 people in
Bewdley. ... In the time of Elizabeth there were
twelve tanyards in Bewdley, and tanners have been
among its greatest benefactors. . . . The markets
have dwindled by degrees, and instead of thirty-two
butchers holding stalls in the shambles, there are now
only two " On the land side the Wyer forest came
close to the town, affording unusual facilities for the tan-
ning trade.
" John Wakeman, the tanner," of 1587 was so-called
as the master of a tanyard, as employees were then re-
garded as merely servants, their bare names being
entered on the parish register without distinctive
l6 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
designation. It was no part of the function of a clergy-
man to collect statistics concerning the occupations of ob-
scure individuals, but it was the regular custom of the
rector of Ribbesford to note the callings of masters in
the different trades when entering their names in his
parish register. Ever since 1576, for example, there
were baptisms of children of plain " John Wakeman,"
whom we may distinguish as John of Belbroughton,
because his will indicates that parish as the probable
place of his origin, and who was certainly no near rela-
tive of Francis Wakeman. The latter appears in 1590
or 1 59 1. en the occasion of the baptism of his first child
(he had been married at Eastham in 1589), as " Francis
Wakeman, the tanner." In 1592 plain John of Bel-
broughton has a son baptized Francis, showing close re-
lations, as distinguished from relationship, with Francis
the master tanner. On April 23, 1593, Francis is no
longer noted as "the tanner," on the occasion of the
baptism of his second daughter, while on September 23,
1594, John Wakeman (presumably of Belbroughton),
whose daughter Mary was then buried, was entered as
" the tanner," a designation afterwards repeatedly given
to John of Belbroughton. That is to say, Francis gave
up his tanyard, and John of Belbroughton became
master of it, or of another, about 1593. From the
action of John of Belbroughton in 1592, in naming his
son after Francis, the master tanner, a much younger
man than himself, it seems strongly probable that he
was Francis's employee before becoming his successor
in the Wakeman tan -yard.* Francis's failure as a
*Of seven children of John of Belbroughton baptized at Bewdley, the first
two, before 11=87, and the next three after that date, were noted as children
of plain "John Wakeman," while the last two were of "John Wakeman, the
tanner." Lest any suppose that the rector applied his trade-titles haphaz-
ard, and that the Joan who died in 1587 was merely the first wife of John of
Belbroughton, it may be added that if so, the first wife Joan named a daugh-
ter Elizabeth, and the second wife, Elizabeth, named her first daughter,
Joan. The rector omitted a master's trade now and then, but such omis-
sions were exceptional.

tanner may be excused by his youth and inexperience,
but in view of his youth and inexperience, he could not,
apparently, have stepped into control of such a business
unless he was placed in it by, or succeeded to his own
father.
Francis appears next in Chaddesley, where his son
John was buried in May, 1595. Why he should retire to
Chaddesley, far from his wife's connections, unless be-
cause it was his own family's home, is inconceivable.
His next son also was named John, and his persistence
in naming his sons John accords well with the other
facts which indicate that that was his father's name.
In 1596 he reappears at Bewdley, on the occasion of
another baptism, and at this time, and uniformly until
his death in 1626, he is noted as " the cooper." In his
will he left a legacy to his brother John, of whom no
other trace appears on the records at Bewdley.
One simple explanation fits all the known facts:
Francis was son of John and Joan, of Drayton, and
brother of the younger John, of Drayton; the elder
John being son of Roger and brother of William, who
were successively recognized as the heads of the Wake-
man family.
The following is from Burton's " History of Bewdley. "
" The earliest mention of the modern Bewdley occurs
under its old Saxon name of Wribbenhall — a name still
retained by the adjacent village on the eastern side of
the Severn. In the time of William the Conqueror both
formed part of the great manor of Kidderminster.
"The spelling in 1304 was Beaulieu, changing to
Beaudeley about 1472, and Beaudley about 1539. Cam-
den ( 1 551-1623) gives the same derivation. ' Bewdley,'
says he, ' takes its name from its most pleasant sit-
uation.—
" « Delirium rerum Bellus Locus undique floret
Fronde coronatus Virianae tempora sylvae.'
l8 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
"Which Bishop Gibson translates thus:
" ' Fair seated Bewdley, a delightful town,
Which Wyre's tall oaks with shady branches crown.'
"Dr. Stukelyin a letter from Bewdley, September 17,
1 7 12, says: ' Were I to choose a country residence for
health and pleasure, it would undoubtedly be on the
west side of the island, not far from this river (Severn),
and where it is most distant from the sea.'
" Leland has left us a descriptive account of the town
as it appeared about 1539:
" 'From Kidderminster to Beaudley two miles by a
fayre downe, but somewhat barren, as the Veyne is
thereabout on every syde of Beaudley for a little com-
passe. I entered into Beaudley, in Schropshire, as
some saye, by a goodly fayre bridge, over Severne of
(five) great arches of stone, being even then in new
reparation.
' ' ' This bridge is onely on Severne betwixt Beaudley and
Worcester bridge. To this bridge resort many fiatt
long vessels to carry up & downe all manner of mer-
chandize to Beaudley & above Beaudley. The east part
of the bridge at Beaudley and the left Ripe of Severne
be in Worcestershire ; but many say and hould that the
west end of the Bridge and the right Ripe of Severne,
within the towne of Beaudley, be in Schropshire, &
Wyre Forrest in Schropshire, going to the parke at Tet-
enhall.
" ' The Towne selfe of Beaudley is sett on the side of
an Hill, soe comely, a man cannot wish to see a Towne
better. It riseth from the Severne banke by East upon
the hill by West, soe that a man standing upon a hill
trans pontem by East may discerne almost every house
in the towne, and at the rising of the sunne from East
the whole Towne glittereth (being all of newe Build-
ing), as it were of gould. There be but 3 streets
memorable in the Towne. One from North to South

all along Severne banke. The second is in the market
place, a fayre, large thing and well builded. The third
runneth from North to South on the Hill syde, as the
first doth in the Valley of Severne. The Parish Church
standeth a mile lower at Ripley (Ribbesford in mar-
gin), ut aqua defluit ripa dextra. By the distance of
the Paroch Church I gather that Beaudley is but a very
newe Towne. There was a privilege of Sanctuary given
to this Towne that now is abrogated. '
' ' This description applies to the present site of the
town, and no mention is made of the old part on the
Wyre hill.
' ' Under the Tudors the prosperity of Bewdley was
in full tide. Henry VII. enlarged Ticknell House and
made it into a palace for Arthur, Prince of Wales, who
there resided and held his court. There, too, he was
married to Catherine of Aragon. Henry VIII. granted
three charters to this town, and sent his daughters, the
Princesses Mary and Elizabeth, to reside in it. The
many distinguished persons who were constantly
coming to the town, attended by large retinues, would
give increased employment to the inhabitants. To pre-
vent disputes a special law was made to regulate the
prices to be charged by the innkeepers (1528).
" Manufactures of various kinds were started in the
time of the Tudors, and flourished. The chief of these
was cap-making, which at one time afforded employ-
ment to probably one thousand people in Bewdley.
"In the time of Elizabeth there were twelve tan-
yards in Bewdley, and tanners have been among its
greatest benefactors. The neighboring forests supply
abundance of oak bark, and there is no apparent reason
why this industry should have fallen off. The market
has dwindled by degrees, and instead of thirty-two
butchers holding stalls in the shambles there are now
only two.
20 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
"We have seen that as early as 141 2 the men of
Bewdley had become bold watermen and owned large
barges or trows. Latterly a great part of the carrying
trade, both by land and water, came into their hands,
and they had the best boats and best crews on the river.
Merchants from Bristol, then the first seaport in the
kingdom, established depots for their goods in Bewdley
and Wribbenhall. Large storehouses were built and
the wares were conveyed by long trains of pack-horses
to the inland towns, and returned, bringing Manchester,
Sheffield and other goods to be shipped down the Sev-
ern to the seaports and West of England. Many old
houses here have extensive buildings in the rear, now
almost disused.
" In 1620 special mention is made of the ' women's
seats ' in the church, showing that the division of the
sexes is not a modern innovation. In 1632 long ser-
mons were the fashion, and an hour-glass was set up,
so that the preacher might know when to finish his dis-
course. In 1642 the gunpowder was removed from the
chapel into the court house ! The Civil War was, now
beginning, and the Chapel Warden's accounts and Rib-
besford registers contain many allusions to the stirring
events."
The foregoing account by Rev. Mr. Burton shows that
the English home of our ancestors was a place of some
prominence, the great bridge having been built prior to
1539. The picture of it here shown is of the old struc-
ture, and is taken from an illustration in Mr. Burton's
" History of Bewdley."

CHAPTER II.
HISTORICAL ENGLISH DATA.
JOHN Wakeman (of New Haven, Connecticut) was
*-* born in Bewdley, England, a borough, market
town, and Chapelry, in the parish of Ribbesford, and
Union of Kidderminster, locally in the town division of
the hundred of Doddington, and in the Hundred-House
and West divisions of the county of Worcester, fourteen
miles northwest of Worcester. (See Lewis's "Topo-
graphical Dictionary England," vol. I.) John Wake-
man married Elizabeth Hopkins, daughter of William
Hopkins, who married Helen Vickaris in Ribbesford
church, October 30, 1609.
Concerning the Vickaris family, the parish registers
of Bewdley show:
"Bap. 1575, Feb. 20, Robarte, the sonn of John
Vickaris.
"1596, Dec. 22, Richard, the father of John Vickreg,
died of the age of 100 yeares and 1 yeare."
No baptism recorded here of Helen. Robert in 16 14
seems to have spelt the name Vicaris.
Burton's "History of Bewdley," appendix p. vii.,
says: "1637. In this year Richard Vickris, merchant,
and then chief Sheriffe of the citie of Bristol, gave a
green Cushion of Plush to be used upon the pulpit in
the Chappell of Bewdley," and also says that he was a
native of Bewdley. The parish church of Ribbesford
of which we give a picture, "is an ancient and curious
structure, standing in a retired situation, surrounded
by wooded heights. " In the Ribbesford parish regis-
ters Mr. William Hopkins is spoken of as "The most
22 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
eminent, wise and truly religious Magistrate of Bewd-
ley, and at last, member of the long Parliament."
Again, "William Hopkins, gent, a gracious and able
Christian ; then Burgesse elected for Parliament for the
borough of Bewdley. " He was buried with his wife in
the chancel of Ribbesford church, outside and near the
communion rail, where the chancel floor is raised a step
above the rest of the church, not far from south wall of
chancel on which the following tablet was placed. The
tablet has only lately been removed to the west wall :
" Here lie interred the bodies of
William Hopkins, late of Bewdley,
Gent: who deceased July 19, 1647.
And Helena, his wife, who deceased
Nov. 16, 1656, both in a good old age."
" Ask you in these what virtues were
Needless it is to write them here,
Go ask the rich they know full well,
Or ask the poor for they can tell."
G. H. posuit.
Wood (Athenas Oxoniensis), followed by Burton,
praises highly George Hopkins (G. H. posuit), son of
William, born at Bewdley, April 25, 1620, educated at
the Grammar school, graduated at Oxford, then Rector
of Evesham (where his son William was born, a cele-
brated cleric and antiquarian, buried in Worcester
cathedral). " He was very judicious, godly, modeste,
peaceable, and upright. " He was brother to Elizabeth
Hopkins who married John Wakeman.
Bigland's "Gloucestershire" (introduction, p. ii.
vol. i.), says: "Dr. William Hopkins, born at Eves-
ham, August 28, 1647; his father was a clergyman, and
his grandfather a gentleman of rank and fortune in
Bewdley, for which town he was chosen member of
Parliament, but died before he took his seat."

CHAPTER III.
EARLY ENGLISH HISTORICAL DATA AND WILLS.
PjUR first New England ancestor, John Wakeman,
^-^ before coming here was a timberman (timber mer-
chant) in Bewdley, England. This would be a position
of much importance at that time (Charles I ) as the Park
contained in 1612, 3,500 old trees. On Wyre Forest
(Wyre Hill) were many square miles of oaks. These
were being used up wholesale. The wood was wanted
for making charcoal to smelt the ironstone brought on
pack horses from the Clee Hill. The Furnace mill on
Dowles Brook has still mounds of refuse ironstone.
Michael Drayton in his " Polyolbion " about this time
speaks of " Goodlie Wyre " as
" Ashamed to behold
Her straight and goodlie woods unto the furnace sold,
And looking on herself by her decay doth see
The miserie whereon her sister forests be."
In later times coal took the place of charcoal for
smelting iron, and Lancashire became important.
In an old document by Edward Blount, endorsed a
memorial of many benefactions to Bewdley Grammar
school and to the poor of Bewdley, copied from the
original of 1643. (The memorial was probably a large
board with these particulars painted thereon.)
" The Memorial of many good Benefactors names
their gifts and benevolences to ye Free Grammar
School of Bewdley by divers psons decd- to yr gt praise
and the encouraging of others to imitate the like charit-
able good works. The said memorial being made in the

ADDITIONAL ENGLISH DATA.
THE following data lately collected is inserted, as it
contains some early English genealogy of our
family as far back as the year 1070. To be strictly
reliable, however, this data should be confirmed by
wills or other record evidence :
From Burke's "Landed Gentry" for 1852, vol. ii.
PP- 1483-4-
Family of Wakeman of The Craig (Monmouth) :
John le Wake, Wyke, or Wakeman, according to the
pedigrees preserved in the family, was living at the
time of the Norman Conquest, and married the heiress
and daughter of Malcolm de Vuseburne or Visberye, a
king's thane, and settled at Ripon, in Yorkshire, the
chief magistrate of which town was called the Wake-
man, but whether the family took its name from the
office or the office from the individual, is uncertain.
The great-grandson of the first John was
William Wakeman, who had lands in Oxfordshire,
temp Richard I., and is mentioned in several records of
that reign; he had issue a daughter, Celina, who gave
lands in All Saints, Oxon, to the Priory of Stodley.
Third in descent from Thomas, a younger brother of
this William, was
Sir Thomas Wakeman, who married Isabella, dau. of
Sir George Hastings, and left issue, two sons, I, Robert,
who married a dau. of James Allington, and left a son,
I, Thomas, a monk, living in 1280,

As to the arms of the See we find in Bedford's
" Blazonry of Episcopacy," " Azure two keys in Sal tire
Or" (Authority, " Hardy's Le Neuve "). Woodward's
' ' Ecclesiastical Heraldry" says as to the Arms of the See,
" Gloucester Azure two keys in Saltyre, wards in chief "
(plate xxii. p. 3,) the Pauline Sword was added to the
keys of St. Peter in early times but latterly dropped out
of use as appears by some old carvings in the Cathedral.
It is hoped that it may be restored to its place ere long.
The original arms of the See are said to have been those
of the old Earls of Gloucester (the Clare family).
The above genealogical matter is inserted be-
cause of its historic interest to our family, but we can-
not consider ourselves descended from either the bishop,
who was a celibate, nor from Sir Richard Wakeman,
whose arms are our frontispiece. The theory of our
descent from Roger Wakeman (seepages 10 and 11) is the
only trace we have of our ancestry prior to Francis, of
Bewdley. Yet there is probably not the slightest doubt
of our descent from one of the brothers of the bishop or
from one of his father's brothers. This would make
Sir Thomas (before mentioned) our direct ancestor.

CHAPTER V.
AMERICAN HISTORY.
SAMUEL WAKEMAN, son of Francis, of Bewdley,
Worcestershire, England, came to New England in
November, 1631, in the ship Lion, Captain Pierce, and
settled in Roxbury, November 2, 1631, and was made
freeman the seventh of August following, being one of
the founders of the first church in Roxbury.
He probably removed to Cambridge, and was repre-
sentative at the May session, 1635, and removed with
Governor Haynes, or rather, as his forerunner, to Hart-
ford, in April, 1636.
He was made constable and was engaged in adjusting
the bounds of the first settlement of Windsor and
Wethersfield. He was killed in the summer of 1641,
with Captain Pierce at Providence in the Bahamas, as
told by Winthrop, vol. ii., p. 43. His estate was, in
December, 1645, settled on Nathaniel Willett, who had
married his widow, Elizabeth, but he was to pay ^40
to the son when twenty-one years of age, and ^20 to
each of the three daughters on their arriving at the age
of eighteen years. They were all young, for the church
records of Roxbury inform us that he buried his only
child at sea coming over, and his first born here by
Elizabeth was Elizabeth, who married Joseph Arnold;
Joanna married Francis Hacleton, and Grace married
John Kelly.
The Captain Pierce referred to above went with others
to relieve English colonists in the Bahamas who were
suffering from the cruelties of the Spaniards.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 45
(The above account is from Savage's Genealogical
Dictionary of first settlers in New England, p. 387.)
The following is from John Winthrop's " History of
New England from 1630 to 1640":
One Samuel Wakeman, a member of the church at
Hartford, who was sent with goods to buy cotton, cast
himself down by him (Captain Pierce) and presently a
great shot took them both. Mr. Pierce died within an
hour, the other (S. W.) having only his thighs tore,
lived ten days.
This Samuel Wakeman left one son, referred to
above, whose name was Esbun or Ezbon. The follow-
ing notice of him is from Savage's " Dictionary ":
"Wakeman, or Wakman, Esbun or Isbun, Stratford
among the freeman, 1669, son of Samuel at Hartford,
had lived at New Haven 1653, married at Guilford,
Hannah Jordan, but before 167 1, had purchased estate
at Fairfield, Conn., where he died 1683, leaving only
daughter, Abigail, who married Thomas Hill."
There is one mention made of his name on the re-
cords of New Haven Colony, 1653 to 1665, p. 391, where
his name is spelled Esburne.
46 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
CHAPTER VI.
AMERICAN HISTORY CONTINUED.
JOHN WAKEMAN was an early member of the

articles of agreement for both church and state of the
Colony of New Haven, which are in the language fol-
lowing :
" W hare as, there was a fundamental agreement made inagen-
erall meeting of all the free planters of this towne, on the 4th day
of the fowerth moneth called June that church members only
shall be free Burgesses, and they only shall chose among them-
selves magistrates and officers to h[ve] the power of transacting
all publique ciuell affayres of this plantatio: of makeing and re-
peli[ng] lawes, deviding inheritances, deciding of differences
thatt may arise, and doeing all things and businesses of like
nature. Itt was therefore ordered by all the said free planters
thatt all those thatt hereafter should be received as planters into
this plantatio should also submit to the said fundumentall agree-
ment and testifie the same by subscribing their names vnder the
names of the aforesaid planters as followeth."

brother Gibbord shall goe with brother Brocket to se
the lott belonging to Thomas Fugill at the West Rocks,

distance it is from the Center and what quantity of land
there is. "
221. 222. "Att a Generall Court held at Newhaven,
the 16th of March, 1645:"
It having been found by a survey made that " Thomas
Fugill " had " tauen in by fencing aboue, tweDty-eight
acres of cleare land, and twenty-four acres of wooddy
and hilly land, and though he vnderstood that some of
the church and probably some of the towne were offend-
ed at this, his vnjust course, yet in some yeares he
had neither procured a survey nor advised with the
Court about it, though from time to time, he had suffi-
cient opportunitie. This being considered, was found
and judged a publique unrighteousness, and so a pub-
lique offence and scandall, wch may not pass without
due censure. It was remembered that when Thomas
Robinson, one that is noe planter, for removing some
land marks in an unrighteous way for his present ad-
vantage, in the grass then to be cutt, though he could
not hold nor get the inheritance, had been lately fined
52 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
40s. in court. Mr. Wakeman and Lieutenant Seeley
were therefore desired to advise wth the magistrates
and deputies whether the offence be not more proper
for the court of Magistrates than for the Newhaven
monthly court, and onn the towne's behalf they were
ordered to prosecute accordinglie.
But the court was further informed that besides the
former vnrighteousness in the quantity of land, a small
part lying within two miles, he had severall ways offen-
ded and falsified orders ; in entering this order made
November the 29th, 1640, the grant in the substance
was this, that he should have his second division of the
cleare ground by the west rocke, provided it were not
within the two mile, nor granted to any other, and by
sundry in court it was remembered that he was
bounded and limitted within two rivers; butinhisbooke
of noates when taken in court, he hath left out the two
mile, hath added (or so much as he desires) of wch
clause he can give noe satisfactory reason; itt was
neither by him so propounded, nor was it any part of
the court's order. And as whereas besides his booke of
noates, before mentioned, he keeps two other bookes,
whereof the latter is to be a faire and lasting recorde,
besides the former materyall defects they differ from
his booke of noates in other respects. In both of them
that clause (if not granted to any other) is left out, and
a clause is added in such manner and with such cir-
cumstances as gives much offence. For Mr. Cheever's
and Mr. Wakeman's heareinge of his vnrighteous in-
closure, desired to see how the grant was penned. Mr.
Cheevers read it in Mr. Wakeman's and Thomas Fugill's
heareinge; he is assured and knoweth that at that time
the order ended with these words, or as much of it as
he desires. Mr. Wakeman conceiveth that clause
(according to his propportion) , was not then in the booke,
they both affirm that vpon that ground Mr. Cheevers

53
tould Thomas Fugill that the order was unlimited and
not easily transgressed and seemed to marvayle that
men should speake of his takinge in too much lande,
but added, you mean according ,to yor proportion.
Thomas Fugill closed both that that was his meaninge,
(yet said not it was soe entered or Avritten), and that
men would be talkinge. Mr. Cheevers, when they were
gon from Thomas Fugill's house, repeated the order to
Mr Wakeman, and presently after wrott it downe
according to wch he reported to Lieutenant Seely how
it was entred, who confidently replyed that the entry
soe made was a falce entry. This soon came vnto
Thomas Fugill's knowledge, but when the booke came
after to be viewed, the line affording room these words
were added (according to his proportion), but with
other pen and inke, a less character and crooked, as
wth a trembling hand."
' ' The booke vppon occasion being brought and left
wth the governor, Mr. Cheevers observed and was
offended at this alteration, and at a meetinge wth Thomas
Fugill before the governor and elders, questioned him
about it; Thomas beginninge to justifie himselfe, the
governour, to prevent further rashnesse and sinfull ex-
pressions, by way of caution, told him the booke was
within and he had viewed it, and if he could judge of
writing, these words were added and written after the
former part of the order with other pen and incke, and
wth a different character, notwithstanding wch, Thomas
Fugill boldly replied, that if the governor would give it
he would presently take oath they were written at one
and the same time with the rest ; but the booke being
brought out, the difference was so apparent that Thomas
Fugill was forced to chang his expression and said he
would take oath it was not written since Mr. Cheever
saw and read the order ; herevpon his second book was
sent for, out of wch this record was coppied, and therein

also (the line affording roome), the same words
seemed to be added, the difference in writinge (though
not soe much as in the greate booke), was cleare and
evident, wch miscarriadge of his gave offence to all
present; but this second booke being by the governour
and elders since viewed, they severally, but each of
them strongly, apprehended that a pen and blacker
incke hath bin drawn over it, their being now either
none, or a difference so small, as is scarcely discernible,
yet Thomas Fugill being questioned againe and againe,
denieth it."
" Thomas Fugill was reprimanded for his falce re-
cords and for his profanity in offering to make oath to
the correctness of his records, and by the court he was
presently put out of his office of secretrie for this plan-
tation."
John Wakeman was chosen Deputy for the " Jurisdis-
diction court," which was held April, 1646.
" It was desired that a view might be made of the
land behind Mr. Wakeman 's and Mr. Goodyeare's quar-
ters in the reare of their divizions. Alsoe what land

was there and aleaged his want of paye. The mer-
chants conceived it belonged to the feoffees to paye, but
they thought it belonged to the rigging and could not
consent to paye anything towards them. In that meet-
ing many speeches passed betwixt Mr Lamberton and

"At a General Court the 18th of October, 1647, John
Wakeman was chosen ' Deputy to the generall courte,'
and also to ' audite the treasurer's account for the year
past.'
"The Gouvernor acquainted the Courte that vpon
notice of the generall courte's order to staye the Duch
shipp wch was seized and caryed out of this harboure by
the Duch, the Duch gouverner hath sent a letter and a
protest against Newhaven for it, professing he will have
controversie only with Newhaven, and requires us to
send the three prisoners and the Duch Marchants and
their goods to them to the Mannatoes, with some threat-
ening speeches if we doe not.
As there was danger of war with Dutch settlers on
Manhattan Island, now New York, "the governor
therefore desires the courte to consider what shall be
done." The matter was duly considered, and, "the
things being many, the courte agreed that a committee
be chosen to consider and proceed therein as they see
cause, and by the generall consent and vote, the pticu-
lar courte for Newhaven, calling to them Mr. Evance,
Mr. Wakeman and Lieutenant Seeley, had full power
granted to them to consult, consider and conclude,
bothe concerning, receiving and protecting the Duch-
men wth all matters aboute fortification, the place and
manner, wth all other things thereto belonging."
In a foot note on page 354 of the Records from which
these facts are gathered, we are informed that the
" shipp " above mentioned was named the St. Beninico,
which the Dutch, claiming to be a smuggler, by a
stratagem, seized and cut out of the harbor on a
Sunday and carried to New Amsterdam, where the ves-
sel and cargo were confiscated.

they propound and howe it may stand with the towne's
conveniency or inconveniency and to make a report

Davenport butt could gitt none. He was asked who he
spake with to doe it, he named Mr. Wakeman, Mr.
Tuttill & Richard Milles. The court thought they were
fitt men & sent for Mr. Wakeman to desire him to take
this upon him, but he was not at home. Richard Milles
being in court declared himself vnwilling, but the court
agreed that they must chuse some to doe it, and ap-
pointed Mr. Wakeman & Richard Milles, two wch Henry
Bishop chose himself, and Mr. Crane & Francis New-

that these foure men vizd Mr. Wakeman, Mr. Crane,

satisfaction of Mr. Davenport and Henry Bishop to
issue it, if not then to inform themselves so fully that

had land for their heads, whose estates are smalle, yet
paye great rates, and others whose estates are increased
haveing but little land paye but a small matter to
publique charges. Divers others in the court concurred
with him, whereupon the court chose a committee to
consider of it and prepare for another court. The com-
mittee are the pticular court (calling in the elders for
any help or light they want), and one out of each quar-

might be taken that fences might be made better, that
swine might goe abroade, that some fields might be
onely for planting Indian corne, and not plant Indian
and English together ; that ye fence might be brought
to a less quantity that men might ye better maintain
them. The court considered of the things and thought
the)^ were weightie and of great concernment to the
towne, therefore ordered to chose a comittee to consider
and debate these things privately and prepare it against
another court. The comitee chosen is the pticular
court, and one at each quarter viz'd Mr. Tuttill 'and

Radical modifications of the mode of "rating" were
made by this court, and to finish the work, ' ' the court

Wakeman is chosen Deputie for Newhaven."

not in this jurisdiction, but Mr. Wakeman, one of the

At a General Court of Elections, held at Newhaven
for the jurisdiction, the 28th of May, 1656.
Mr. John Wakeman chosen "Treasurer," and was
also a " Deputy."
At this court, "John Frost, servant to Mr. Gibbard,
being called and examined aboute the burning his mas-
ter's house & etc." confessed his guilt, and after due
consideration, the court desiring to be very lenient,
"considering he is young " (aboute fourteene yeares of
age), and also somewhat childish in his way, agreed to
spare his life (though the offence be exceedingly
haynious and aggravated wth many circumstances), but
that the following sentence should be executed upon
him, viz. : " That the said John Frost should be a ser-
vant for one and twenty yeares from this time, five or
six of which yeares belongs properly to Mr. Gibbard,
being a remainder of ye time of service to him due vpon
a former agreement, and for the other time, fifteene or
sixteene yeares be it more or less, the profitt thereof
shall be divided betwixt Mr. Gibbord and Mr. Wake-
man (vpon whom the loss fell) in due proportion when

their several losses are made known ; that he shall be
seuerely whipped with rods iitt for that purpose ; that
he weare a halter about his necke and a small light lock
vpon his legg, so as they may be seene ; that he stand
in the pillory such a space of time as the magistrates
shall thinke fitt, and if he shall goe out of ye jurisdic-
tion with-out leave, he shall be lyable to be questioned
for his life again, wch sentence was by gen. court or-
dered to be published by the magistretes of Newhaven
the next trayneing day, wch will be ye 9th of June, and
then also, as the case requireth, to be executed "
The neighbors being afraid that if this boy was held
to service by Mr. Gibbord he would burn their build-
ings, and as his "wearing a lock on his legg would
make his services of less value to his master." " The
court told Mr. Gibbard that they could not force any
man to take him, but if he cannot imploy him himselfe
to satisfaction, he may treate with any other, as Mr.
Wakeman, the Marshall or Jno. Cooper, aboute the iron
worke, and if he can agree with any of them to satis-
faction, the courte will be content, but if no comfort-
able closeing can be so as he may stay here, but that in
the issue he must be sent away, and it may be back to
England to his father, then the courte of Magistrates
must meete to consider of some further punishment to
be inflicted, for example and terror to others, that none
may be imboldened to take such courses, and if the lock
prove inconvenient and a hindrance to his laborer, it is
left to the court at Newhaven to alter that part as they
shall see cause."

"John Tompson entered an action against the estate
of Mr. Jno. Roberts which is in the hand of Mr. Wake-

affirmeth, that he heard Mr. Roberts say both at water
side and aboard the vessel when he went away that if
he proved inconstant, or whether he lived or dyed, he
gave that he had here to Ann Vicars, and she might
goe to them (meaning Mr. Wakeman & Mr. Ling, whom

theory that the two burial stones now standing in the

the wife of Mr. John Wakeman. Our reasons for be-
lieving this are 1st, that she was the daughter of Mr.
William Hopkins, of Bewdley, England, " a gentleman
of rank and fortune," and there is no record of any one
else whose name has the same initials as dying there
68 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
within five years of 1658, the date on the stones. Some
have presumed them to be erected to Edward Wiggles-
worth, who died in 1653; but this is hardly probable,
as his estate was only ^400, and he left a wife and chil-
dren, who would be liable not to reduce their small in-
heritance by purchasing two burial stones in times
when they were very expensive. Nor do we find that
Mr. Wigglesworth had occupied such position of fame
or renown as to at all warrant the surmise that his
fellow citizens would expend their hard won shekels
on burial stones for him ; 2d, Mrs. Elizabeth Wakeman
was given a seat in the church in February, 1656, but
was not mentioned in the next allotment of seats.
Further, we find in the Colonial records the following
that goes to show or indicate that Mrs. Wakeman had
died prior to 1659.
From general court, held April 1, 1661, Mr. Wake-
man was nominated at the court of election for a magis-
trate, after which Mr. Wakeman declared that he
thought the unsettled condition he stood in would have
spoken sufficiently to have prevented any such action
concerning him. When the question being put to him,
whether he did not intend to stay amongst us, to which
he answered that he was not resolved whether to go or
stay, rather than he would accept of the place he would
remove. They had therefore done nothing in what
they had done. Therefore it was safe to nominate some
other. It was propounded that another might be nomi-
nated, which by lot was so determined.
Mr. Wakeman 's will was executed April 4, 1660, and
in it he makes no mention of his wife. Now, as it is
hardly presumable that a man in his position would
have failed to have mentioned his wife in his will had
she been living, we consider she must have died be-
tween 1656 and 1660.
A theory has been advanced that these stones were
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 69
not erected to the memory of a person of very much
prominence. Then why were two stones erected and
elegantly lettered, one a headstone and the other a foot-
stone, and this in times when money was scarce, and
when no other stones were set up?
Mr Wakeman's children were well married prior to
his will, his son marrying a daughter of Deputy Gov-
ernor Goodyear, one daughter marrying Lieut. -Col.
John Talcott, of Hartford, and the other married Sam-
uel Kitchell, of Newark. With his children all well
provided for, it was natural that a man of Mr. Wake-
man's position and means should mark the grave of his
wife, who was of a family of position and fortune.

The original will of Mr. Wakeman is on file in the
probate office in Hartford, and is as follows:
I, John Wakeman of New Haven being weake in body, but of
sound vnderstanding and memory, in expectation of my great
change doe make this my last will and testament. First, I corn-
end my soule into the hands of my Lord Jesus Christ my re-
deemer, trusting to be saved by his merits and intercession, and
my body to be buried at the discretion of my executors and
friends, in hope of a joyfull resurection; testifying my thankfull-
ness for the free manifestation of his grace to me in Christ, and
for the liberty and fellowship vouchsafed me with his people in
his ordinances in a Congregational way, which I take to be

the way of Christ, orderly walked in according to his rules, but I
doe testify against absolute independency of churches, and per-
fection of any in light or actings, and against compulsion of con-
science to concur with the church without inward satisfaction to
conscience, and persecuting such as discent vpon this grownde,
which, I take to be an abuse of the power given for edification by
Christ who is only Lord of the conscience.
As for my outward estate and worldly goods that God nath
given me which I shall leave, my iust debts and funerall charges
being satisfied, my will is thus: First, I give vnto my daughter
Helena, wife to John Talcott of Hartford, twenty pounds to be
wholly at her own disposal, and to her husband, my son in law

ech of theyre three children fiue pounds apiece, namely vnto

or mine), or till the tyme of her marriage, prouided shee marry
wth the consent of my executors and ouerseers, or wth the consent

rest, and my hanger which he vseth to traine with, vpon his good
behauiour, that is if he shall carry himselfe honestly and faith-
fully in his place and seruice to the satisfaction of my executors

Mr. John Wakeman was deacon of the first church in
New Haven.
The first mention of Samuel Wakeman, son of John,
in N. H. Colony Records, is among those who took
"oath of fidellitie ye 7th, 2nd mo., 1657." Samuel
Wakeman is the third on the list.

penny and some at eight, the prsent treasurer Roger
Ailing would not soe accept without the allowance of

"Thomas Prince says of Samuel Torrey, I suppose
he was admitted into Harvard College about 1650, and
should, according to the preceding custom, have taken
his first degree in three years. But the Corporation
making a Law that the Scholars should study at Col-
lege four years before they commenced Bachelors in
Arts, several Scholars, tho' they were accounted as
good as any before them; and I suppose of different
classes, went off, and never took any Degree at all.
There were at least Five of them, who after made a
very shining Figure in New England, viz. : Gov.
Josiah Winslow, the Rev. Mr. Samuel Torrey, the Rev.
Mr. Ichabod Wiswall, of Duxbury, agent for the Ply-
mouth Colony at the Court of England upon the Revo-

and the Rev. Mr. Brinsmead of Marlborough; who

CHRISTIAN READER.
The ensuing discourse shews the great danger of a Peoples
departing from God by sin, it will cause God to depart from them,
as here we find threatned. The way to escape this Judgment, is
to be instructed Be tkou instructed lest. This word of commina-
tion was directed and spoken first at Jerusalem, but reacheth to
us now in N. E., who stand in like circumstances before the Lord,
as Jerusalem then did. A parallel People with them, both in
respect of privilege and provocation Profession, and Prevarica-
tion. They were highly favored of God, so have we been; They
deeply revolted from God, so have we done, That faithful City
became an Harlot; and we in this Land are greatly degenerate.
80 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
New England Israel was once Holiness unto the Lord: What
are we now ? Whence it follows that (as persons concerned) what
was spoken to them; we must take to ourselves. If the Lord by
the Prophet thus instruct and threaten Jerusalem he doth the
same to us. What then is our duty ? 0 be instructed, reformed
refitted, that we may yet be spared, and God's presence among
us continued, O for that Reformation the Lord hath so long
lookt for hath so often been attempted, and so much talked of,
but not yet attained ! What is it more than meer talk ? Where
is the thing ? Is not all we have done but as the morning cloud
and early dew that goeth away, passeth soon out of sight and
vanisheth into nothing ? O then be instructed See and consider
the great and many sins so rife and common among us ; Sigh,
mourn, and lament over them our own and others sins, by all
which God is discharging dishonoured ; and then every one to fall
to our proper work of repenting, returning, reforming with all
speed and seriousness and that the Judgment threatned may not
be executed upon us by God's departure from us: Let us Labour
with all our might, and by all means to keep God with us, to hold
him and not let him go ; for if we let God go, we are not our own
friends, nor will it appear that we counted God our best friend,
for such we will hug and hold fast, and if possibly we can, will
keep them with us: How loth were they to part with their be-
loved Paul ? O blessed Paul, they desire much his company and
presence ; but what is the presence of Paul, though an Apostle,
to the presence of God himself with his People ? And would we
then keep God among us ? If so,
i, Put a due price upon Divine Presence, as Moses did, Exod
33> 2, 3, 15, The presence of an Angel will not satisfie him: If
God himself will not go with his People, what can an Angel do
for them ?
2. Plead hard for flic continuance of God's preference with
us as Moses there, and so the Prophet Jer, 14, 8, 9. Let us shew
how we value, and esteem of our God, even above all creature
comforts in Heaven or Earth, Psal. 53, 25, Say, Lord, what are
all these ? They may go their way so thou wilt stay with us, we
can do well enough without them, but not without thee.
3. Put away that which would drive God from us, as they
did and retained his presence, Judg. 10, 10, 15, and compassion
also: true repentance, and our returning to God, is the best plea,
we can make for God's returning unto us, and continuing with us.
Consider what may encourage, and what should quicken us to -
labour to keep God with us.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 8l
1. To encourage us, the thing is possible, God may be pre-
vailed with if due means be used. The Judgement threatned is
not yet executed, nor hath the Lord cast us out of his presence as
yet 2 King, 13, 23, yet it/i midst of us, Jer. 14, 9.
God is pleased to speak before he smite; yea to speak and
warn us, that he may not smite us; but being penitent, and
reformed we may be spared, 3. God is inclined to ?nercy, willing
to be reconciled to sinners, and easily intreated by them, when
they sincerely turn unto him. The Son Came, the Father ran,
Luke 15, 20. Again, 4. This Commi?iation is u?ider condition
(not absolute) that if we repent God will repent; if we return
God will return as the Promise runs — Zech. i, 3. This should en-
courage.
2. What should quicken us ? Consider, as r. If we do not re-
pent, and do not what we do in good earnest, to do to purpose,
we shall find God in good earnest in doing as he hath thoicght
and threatned against us — Zech. 8, 14. And 2. Consider what
it is for God to depart from us. When God goes, all goes, he
being All.
1. All God goes, his hearing ear, his pitying eye, his shining
Face and Countenance, his helping Hand, his Loving Heart, ten-
der Affection, yerning Bowels, his glorious Attributes of power,
mercy, goodness, which were all for us are now gone from us.
When God's Soul, which is Himself, whole God or God thus
wholly departs from a People. 2. All good goes, for if God leave
us, what good can he leave with us ? Doth not his goodness in-
fluence all our good things, and make them such unto us ? What
were Health, Wealth, Friends, all the world to us, if God be not
with us ? Yea, what were Heaven itself if God were not there ?
3. When God goes all evil comes, as Deut. 31, 16, 18. And no
other can be expected indeed, but when the Sun sets dark night
will ensue. Take away the light and nothing but darkness re-
mains. The absence of all good (which is in God only) necessi-
tates succeeding evil, and is an inlet unto it. 4. Whatever evils
befall us when God is departed from us will be turned ztpon us
as the fruit of our own wayes : and what we have procured
to ourselves, Prov. 1, 31, Jer. 2. 17. And so they laid the
pleasant land desolate, Zech. 3, 14. A great aggravation of
any affliction when self sought or brought upon ourselves by our
own default, as Joab tells David, 2 Sam. 19, 17. If by his so carry-
ing himself, he drew upon himself so great a mischief and misery,
as to cause his Associates, Souldiers and helpers to withdraw
from him: // will be worse unto thee, saith he, than all the
6
82 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
evils that ever befel thee from thy youth until now, to be left
alone that night destitute of a Guard about him, when danger
surrounded him and this through his own default, would make it a
dark and a dismal night indeed unto David; how much more
when by our sinful folly we provoke God to depart from us ; what
height of folly is this, and what depth of misery and distress doth
it bring poor sinners into! But Manum detabula; I may no
longer detain the (gentle Reader) thus standing at the door, but
send thee into the house to partake of the good things there pre-
pared; that wholesome and good Word of the Lord there opened.
I commend it to thee as good in itself, and good at this time, a
seasonable Word, an awakening Word, a soul affecting Word, a
good helping among many others of like sort, to make thee and
others serious, which was and is the design of this Sermon. The
Reverend and Pious Author having the sense of what he spake
upon his own heart, was willing also to affect the hearts of others,
and therefore (as you see) he used not only acceptable, but oper-
ative words, even words like goods and nails ; heart piercing ex-
pressions, that they that hear may feel also. But what will all
avail, if the Lord set not in with it ? Let our eyes be therefore
unto him. And now the Lord bless, let the blessing of Heaven be
upon this endeavor, and let that One Shepherd, the Lord Jesus
Christ, by the hand of his Holy Spirit, so foster these awful truths
upon all our hearts, that the powerful effects of the same may be
seen in our reformed lives.
Amen. So prays Thy Servant in Christ. F. Bishop.
AT THE ELECTION, MAY 14, 1685.
Jer. 6, 8, Be thou instructed O Jerusalem, lest my Soul depart
from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
Whoso shall view over and attentively consider the whole trace
and series of God's dealing with and dispensations toward his
Covenant People (however as to them they have sometimes issued
very dreadfully) will find them giving in clear and abundant tes-
timony to the Truth of that of the Psalmist, Psal. 145, 8, The
Lord is Gracious, and full of Compassion, slow to anger, and
of great mercy. Among many other passages in the sacred
story to this purpose (purposely kept upon the File for the use of
the Church in all Ages, and for ours upon whom the ends of the
world are come) (he whose compassions have been ever of old,
using the same tenor of tender dispensations towards his People
now as then) the Text now read, as also what we find in the fore-
going Chapters, make this very evident and apparent. You may
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 83
see in the first Chapter God's calling, instructing and encourage-
ing the Prophet, as to his Office and Work, or as to his Office-
work, he being one of these Messengers of whom you have men-
tion made, 2 Chron. 36, 15, That the Lord God of their Fathers
sent unto them, rising tip betimes, and sending-, because he had
compassion on his People, and on his dwelling Place. You
may see in the second Chapter God's earnest and affectionate ex-
postulation with his People by him as to his antient love and
kindness to them, and their notwithstanding causeless Revolt and
Apostacy from him. Go cry in the ears of Jerusalem, etc.,
Vers 2, &c. God rings such a peal in Jerusalem' s ears by the
Prophet throughout the Chapter upon this account, as one would
thought, should have reached and pierced, should have thirled
and thawed their very hearts, you may see in the third chapter,
God inviting and perswading them to Repent and turn to him
with Promises of gracious acceptation, vers 1, 12. Also pleading
with them his Covenant relation, and merciful propention to-
wards them, vers 14, &c. You may see in the 4 Chapter God
adding further to his former Promises, Promises to Promises,
vers. 1, 2, and threatnings to his Promises, as in the sequel of
that Chapter, if by any means, fair or foul, he might induce or
necessitate, draw or drive them to Repentance. You may yet see
in the fifth chapter, God's lothness to proceed against them to
destroy them ; his exceeding readiness, his desirousness to pardon
and spare them : Ruti ye to and fro through the streets of Jeru-
salem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places
thereof of ye can find a man, if there be any, that executeth
judgment, that seeketh the truth, and I will pardon it, vers. 1.
God speaks as one agrieved to punish them, as one ready to par-
don them upon low termes ; and earnestly looking about if haply
he might find something why he might do it. In this 6 Chapter,
while yet there is any hope, we have God still pursuing the mat-
ter with them, laying close siege unto them, putting home his
threatnings, lowdly alarming them with his Judgements, plainly
warning them of the worst that was to be expected, and unavoid-
ably coming upon them, if not prevented solemnly, and earnestly
admonishing them to bethink themselves, be advised that it
might not come to that. This is in general the sense and intend-
ment of the Text and Context, but to take a little more particu-
larly view of it we have here : 1. In the beginning of this Chap-
ter an exceeding lively, sensible, starting and awakening repre-
sentation made of the siege and sack of Jerusalem, the miserable
destruction by the Babylonians impending them. 0 ye Children
84 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
of Benjamin gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jeru-
salem to escape the danger, he bids them flee out of Jerusalem to
escape the danger, or rather the sense of it seems to be that they
should gather themselves to go out of the city to make good their
fronteers, and stand upon their defence against the enemy; as it
is said of the Moabites, that when they heard the kings were
come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able
to put on Armour a7id stood in their borders, 2 Kings 3, 21.
Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, that is give the alarm, which as
now commonly by the beating of the Drum, was then done by the
blowing of the trumpet, Ezek. 7, 14. And set tip as a sign of
fire in Beth haccorem, as is wont to be done at this day to give
notice of any sudden invasion, for evil appeareth out of the
north and great destructioti. Under all these terms, rallying of
Men, Sounding of Trumpets, firing of Beacons, Military usages,
in such cases the Prophet notably sets forth what a dreadful
alarum the Northern Army should give them. The state of Jer-
usalem thus invaded, is expressed vers. 2, / have likened the
daughter of Sion to a comely and delicate Woman ; as in re-
spects of God's benign and gentle dealing with her, so in respect
of her abuse of Divine goodness and indulgence to Pride, Luxury,
Wantonness, &c. The Shepherds with their Flocks shall come
unto her, they shall pitch their tents against her, round about
they shall feed every one in his place; the words either plainly
show Jerusalem' s utter destruction; she should be so destroyed,
that sheep should feed in her, iam seges est ubi Truiafuit, or
under the similitude of the Shepherds, and their Flocks pitching
their tents against her, round about the Caldeans with their
Armies, the Captains with their Companies which should begirt
them round, and besiege and hem them in on every side is set
forth and expressed: It followeth, prepare War against her,
arise and let us go up at 710011. Wo unto us for the day goeth
away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out, arise
and let us go up by night, and let us destroy her Palaces,
wherein is to the life described the zeal and spirit of the enemy to
the work their restless industry at it day and night, and their
very impatiency with themselves that they had not effected it ; all
tending to set forth the woful destruction that their enemies
should work them. But how doth the Prophet thus speak:
Gather, Rally, blow the trumpet, fire the Beacon, &c. Was
there any enemy in sight ? Was the Babylonian Army now in
their borders ? No, they probably enjoyed sundry years patience
after this, and before the destruction here spoken of came upon
W A REMAN GENEALOGY. 85
them ; but the Prophet thus speaks all along in the present tense,
speaks as if the Caldeans were upon them, makes such a presen-
tation of things as if present, and even now in their eyes and
ears, that a dead, dull, secure, senseless people might be quick-
ened and awakened indeed. God would, and we should, make
evil present in the threat fling that we may put away and avoid
it; Noah being warned of God of things not seen as yet moved
with J 'ear prepared an Ark.
2. In what followes in the 6 and 7 verses, he layes forth the
causes of this sore impending destruction that he hath described;
it seemed unreasonable to Festus to send a Prisoner and not
withal to signify the Crimes laid against him, Acts 25, ult. As
God wants not, so he is not wanting to give (the scripture is full
of it) the reason of all the evils that he threatens to do, or doth
against any; so here (according to his usual manner elsewhere)
he gives the reason of that great destruction brought so near
them in threatening of the former verses, viz., Jerusalem s
abominable and boundless wickedness. Thus hath the Lord of
Hosts said, hew down trees and cast a mount against Jerusa-
lem, this is the city to be visited, she is wholly oppression in the
midst of her. This is the City to be visited, not a City, but the
City above all other Cities deserving and designed to be visited,
but how visited ? Not in a way of favor, and care, and kindness,
as sometimes that term is intending not by Prophets, and the
tenders of grace and mercy. Jerusalem had been thus visited,
but she had not known the day of her visitation, but in wrath and
judgement and by a destroying enemy: but why thus visited?
She is wholly oppression, in the midst of her they are called not
oppressing but oppression, to show how superlatively oppressive
they were, and not only oppression but wholly oppression, imply-
ing the general infection, the universal prevailing of this sin, 'tis
added in the midst of her; not in her suburbs, outskirts some odd
and unobserved corners, was it thus ; but it sought no cover.t, it
was visible, evident, and eminent in her; itfollows, as a fountain
casteth out her waters so she casteth out her wickedness; a
Fountain casteth out her waters naturally, freely, incessantly,
constantly, forcibly, and abundantly ; and thus did Jerusalem sin
as those accustomed, habituated, naturalized to sin, as those that
could not cease from sin, as those that knew no restraint nor
bounds or end of sinning ; as is further set forth in the following
words, violence and spoil is heard in her before me. Continually
is grief and wounds, the cry of Jerusalem went up like that of
Sodom; poor Jerusalem, how is the faithful City become an harlot,
86 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
it was full of Judgement, Righteousness lodged in it, but now
murderers.
3. In the Text (which makes the third and last part of the
Context) (having thus realized to them that fore and certain ruine
that was inevitably coming upon them, if not prevented, as also
laid before them, those great and wrath-provoking sins, the
causes of so great destruction) he comes earnestly and affection-
ately to call upon them, to be perswaded, cautioned and advised
for the preventing of it: Be thou instrtcctcd, 0 Jerusalem, lest
my soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate, a land not
inhabited. This application made to them in the Text, is the use
of the whole Context, the drift and scope, and design and ten-
dency, & issue of all, is O that Jerusalem would be instrncted,
lest her God leave, and leaving lay her desolate. To give you in
the sense and importance of the words we have in them ; Two
things to be considered, 1. Who is here spoken to ? 2. What is
spoken ?
1. Who is here spoken to, and that is Jerusalem; Jerusalem
(to say nothing of its situation and outward strength and great-
ness) was the City of God, the City of the Great King, the Holy
City, the perfection of beauty, Israel' s Glory, and the joy of the
whole Earth, loved of God in a special manner, and chosen to set
his name there: There was his presence, his Worship, his Ordi-
nances, his Oracles, his Prophets; there God shined and was
known in her Palaces. At the first the Lord chose Israel from
all the Nations of the World to be his People ; and after when
Israel fell and made defection from God he reserved Judah to be
the upholder of his true Religion ; and in Judah chose Jerusalem
as the place of his Worship ; so that as Israel was God's peculiar
People of all the World, so Judah was the best part of Israel,
and Jerusalem the chief place of Judah; Jertisalem was then
God's speciall peculiar People under that notion as appropriate to
God, as near to God as near might be. This Jerusalem God here
speaks to. And what saith he to them ? That's the 2, Thing to
be considered, be thou instructed, &c. The words are Hortatory
and Monitory and Minatory ; the Text in the run of it is mixed
and made up of these, it is an Exhortation, or if you will an Ad-
monition rather, and that under the severest commination. Note
in it three things, 1. The Exhortation or Admonition itself. 2.
The manner of expressing it, and putting it home to the Persons
concerned. 3. The Motives inforcing.
1 . The Exhortation and Admonition itself, the subject matter of
it, be instructed (it), the Word signifies to be corrected, to be
wakejJan genealogy. 87
instructed, to be amended in, and by being corrected, to be in-
structed is to know, and yet more than barely, meerly to know, to
know (as the use of the term in Scripture language commonly sig-
nifies) so as to be affected and acted accordingly, to know not
speculatively, notionally only, with a cold, dry, barren, unpracti-
cal knowledge, but to know with a consciencious feeling heart-
affecting, operative knowledge to be instructed, is so to know and
understand, take in and lay to heart the reason of things, as to be
convinced, affected, cautioned, advised, counselled, perswaded,
and in every respect accordingly concerned, and suitably wrought
upon by it. We may fully take it up in these three things.
1 . It implyes conviction, which is a right, true apprehension of
things, as indeed they are; a real understanding how matters
stand with us, or between God and us, to know things with appli-
cation to ourselves, or for ourselves; as the phrase is, Job 5, ult
which is indeed our wisdom, therefore it is called the instruction
of Wisdom, Prov. 15, 33. And we are called upon to hear instruc-
tion, and be wise, Prov. 8, 33.
2. It infers Contrition, in case all is not well with us, or seeing
ourselves (as it is said of Israel, Exod. 5, 10) to be in evil case.
Conviction works, contrition and Repentance; a true sight of
things infers and draws after it a due sense of things ; hence that
of Ephraim, after I was instructed I smote upon my thigh,
Jer. 31, 19.
3. It ineludes and takes in Conversion, Conviction, working
Contrition. Repentance works by it, and in the way of it unto
Conversion, in respect of which eminently the reproofs of instruc-
tion (i. e., the Conviction and Contrition it works tending to and
ending in Conversion) are said to be the way of Life, Prov.
6, 23. This is to be instructed, which is the matter of the
Exhortation.
2. The manner of expressing// Thou O Jerusalem, be thou in-
structed; the terms are very Pathetical and full of affection: 'tis
a passionate, quick, powerful and very moving mode of expres-
sion, putting home what is spoken to the Persons concerned. Be
thou instructed, there is an emphasis upon this {Thou) thou that
art in a special manner appropriated to God, thou that art emi-
nently privileged above others, thou whom I have chosen, loved,
set my heart, laid out my care and kindness upon, Etc. Be thou
instructed, O Jerusalem : Depth of Sorrow, and height of desire,
when our affections and passions are up, bring us in with our
(O's) our interjections and exclamations, as here O Jeru-
salem, which carries in it great affection, and earnestness of
expression.
88 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
3. The Motives inforcing it; Lest my Soul depart from thee,
lest I make thee desolate, a land not Inhabited. The Words
hold forth a first and second, or a double dreadful commination,
in case the admonition given were not taken, were not attended
to, lest my Soul depart from thee: The Soul of God is God
himself, fob 23, 13, What the Soul desireth, even that he doth,
i. e., What himself desireth. So Judg. 10, 16, His soul was
grieved for the miseries of Israel, i. e., He was grieved, so that
to say, lest my Soul depart from thee is as much as to say lest I
depart from thee ; and yet it is more than so to say, for though
that be the meaning of it, yet this manner of speaking carries
more in it; God so speaks as to affect them with a due appiehen-
sion of his deep concernment in what he so speaks, as a matter
that his Soul, his Spirit was much in, when the soul is mentioned
a thing said to be done with the soul, it implyes our Spirits to be
much in it, as Isa. 26, 9, With my Soul have I desired thee in
the night, and with my Spirit within me will I seek thee early.
So also God thus Speaks to set forth and signifie to them the
withdrawment of his love and affection from them, lest my Soul
depart from thee, or as the Original, according to your Marginal
reading, be loosed or disjoynted from thee, that is lest I with draw
my love from thee, lest my mind be alienated. So it is rendred,
Ezek. 23, 18, My mind was alienated from her, my mind or soul
was loosed or disjoynted from her; the expression is the same
with this of the Text, cleaving or knitting of Soul to or with any
is expressive of love and affection: It is said of Shechem, his Soul
clave unto Dinah the Daughter of Jacob, and he loved the
Damsel, Gen. 34, 3. So of Jonathan, that his soul was knit
with the soul of David, and he loved him as his own soul.
1 Sam. 18, 1, Now I say, as cleaving and knitting of Soul to and
with any. imports that we intirely and inwardly love and affect
them, so for the Soul to depart from any, be loosed or disjoynted
from them implyes disaffection, and an altogether alienation and
estrangement of mind from them, lest my Soul depart from thee;
then is as much as to say, lest I utterly leave thee, lest I wholly
withdraw my affections, and totally aud finally take off my heart
from thee. And as is further threatned, lest I make thee deso-
late, a land not inhabited. The words are plain, and as plainly
signifie not those gentler and corrective, but those consumptive,
ruinating, destroying, desolating Judgements, that God taking
off his heart from them, would bring upon them many afflictions,
much of correction may possibly consist with the love and favour
of God towards a People, or however, certain it is, that a People
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 8g
may severely smart under the effects of his displeasure, while yet
his heart may be towards them, at least not wholly taken off from
them; but when once it comes to this, that God's Soul departs
from a People, he puts himself into ways of destruction towards
them; when once his heart is taken of from them, his destroying
hand is turned upon them: He first casts off, and then cuts off
a People ; casts them first out of his heart, and then out of his
sight.
It remains only to tell you that the {lest) here prefixed, Lest
my Soul depart from thee, lest I make thee desolate : This two-
fold lest hath a twofold look in it, as to either and both parts of
the threatning; it looks both ways. i. Upon the prevention of it,
that by their being instructed what is here threatned, might be
obviated and prevented. 2. Upon the unavoidableness of it, if
they be not instructed, if they hearken not to counsel, no other is
to be hoped or expected but that it will certainly come upon
them. This manner of speaking, according to the common usage
of it, see Exod. 19, 22, Job 42, 8, implies as on the one hand a
possibility of escaping what is so threatned, so be it that due use
of means be attended to; so on the other hand, the impossibility
of avoiding it in case of neglect: it holds forth not a probability,
a danger only, but a certainty, that if means for prevention be
not attended to, the evil threatned will be inflicted, if Jerusalem
be not instructed, God's Soul will depart from her, &c. From the
words thus opened, let me commend to you this great, consider-
able and concerning point of doctrine, so in it self, tho it fall (the
more the pity) to so inconsiderable and feeble a hand to manage
and improve it ; namely,
Doct. God so threatens to leave and lay waste, to take off
his heart from, and turn his destroying hand upon his own
People, as that it may, a?id that it may be prevented, yet so that
if it be not, it will come to that : It concerns them therefore to
be instructed, to be advised, to hearken to counsel, to bethink
themselves, to be convinced, affected, repent, amend, convert
and turn to God, lest they bring it to that woful pass. We
have three things in the Doctrine (and the Text is very full of
them all) 1. That God so threatens to leave and lay waste, to
take off his heart from, and turn his destroying hand upon his
own People, as that it may, and that it may be prevented.
2. Yet God so threatens it, that if it be not prevented, it will
come to that, he will certainly leave and lay them waste ; take off
his heart from them, and turn his destroying hand upon them.
3. It concerns them therefore, or these things considered, things
90 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
thus standing, to be instructed, to be advised, to hearken to coun-
sel, to bethink themselves, to be convinced, affected, repent,
amend, convert and turn to God, lest they bring it to that woful
pass. i. God so threatens to leave and lay waste, to take off
his heart from and turn his destroying hand upon his own
People : i. e., His visible Covenant People, as that it may, and
that it may be prevented. The manner of God in his threat-
nings, is to leave room for remedy; his end being that (if it may
be) the threatned evil may be prevented: God doth not take a si-
lent leave of his People {Jacob like from Lab an) upon displeas-
ure steal away from them and say nothing, get him out of hearing
before they hear anything of it: He doth not break away from
them suddenly, and remedyesly, nor yet break in upon them sud-
denly, surprise them (the Sinful People) fall foul upon them in his
wrath, cast them off, cut them off; no this is not the manner of
God, whose delight is in mercy. But God threatens to leave his
People, so that it may, and that it may be prevented : God never
leaves his People but he first threatens, warnes, advises, admon-
ishes them; but he first bespeaks them as his People here: O, be
instructed ; our Bible so abounds with this that it were endless,
and to men acquainted with Scriptures, 'tis needless to give par-
ticular instances. God long and often threatned, and warned Is-
rael and Judah of old, before he alienated his heart from them ;
called them Loammi and gave them a Bill of Divorce, nor yet
had Ephesics, and those other New Testament Churches (tho now
God makes quicker work than then) their Candlestick's removed,
but after solemn & signal warning, for the prevention of it. And
the reasons of it are,
Reas. i. Prom God's lot hue ss to leave his people, his own,
his Covenant People. The tender and indeared affection that he
bears unto a People taken near unto himself; God's affections are
stronger and he stands in closer relation to his Covenant People,
than that he easily cast off and forsake them : The Lord will not
forsake his People, i Sam. 12, 22. And in very deed, their
being his people is founded upon such a bottom, even that of his
free Grace, that is not easily slighted, as the reason there added
shews; the Lord will not forsake his People. Because it hath
pleased the Lord to make you his People. God having made
any his People, and that of meer good pleasure, is not forward to
cast off and forsake them: God not willingly afflicts, Lam. 3, 33.
but much more lothly rejects his Covenant-People, as is notably
set forth, Hos. 11, 8, How shall I give thee up, Ephraim ? How
shall I deliver thee, Israel ? How shall I make thee as Adma,
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 91
and set thee as Zeboim ? My heart is turned within me, my re-
pentings are kindled together. The great God who here (as com-
monly in Scripture) speaks of himself after the manner of men, to
our understanding ; gives us to understand in this strange, passion-
ate and Rhetorical language ; how hardly he brings his heart to
it, to give up as to any more room in his affection, to deliver over
unto destruction his own People: God (as I may say) is at a set
when it comes to this, it casts him into a deep deliberation & a
sorely exercising conflict in his own thoughts about it ; how doth
he turn it with himself, and deeply, and inwardly, revolving the
matter, question with himself about it ? What give up Ephraim,
deliver Israel, make Ephraim, make Israel, as Adma and
Zeboim ? How can I do it ? What deal thus by thee, Ephraim,
by thee, Israel, by thee discard, destroy my own People as I
have done ? Sodom, how can I find in my heart to do it ? How
doth God roule this bitter pill in his mouth (with holy reverence
be it spoken) and as unable to swallow it, at last spit it out ? /
will not execute the fierceness of tnine anger, I will not return
to destroy Ephraim ; so exceeding loth is God to give up, to give
over his People to destrnction and therefore layes his threatning
of it so, as to leave room for remedy.
Reas. 2. That he might hereby try the love and affection of
his People, whether they will let him go ; God intimates to a
People his leaving of them, threatens with it before he doth, that
he may feel how their pulse beats towards him, what affections
they have for him ; how their love will strive and work upon such
an occasion before God quite leaves a People, wholly takes off his
heart from them ; he is willing to sound theirs whether they have
any affections left for him. You may read, Exod. 33 (the People
having committed that great sin in making them Gods of Gold)
God tells them he will leave them, he will go no more in the midst
of them : and to make them the more sensible of it, Moses takes
the Tabernacle (the visible signe and token of God's presence) and
pitches it without the camp afar off; and now God looks and
listens what they say to it, how they take it that he may accord-
ingly deal with them : When God is about to leave his People be-
cause they provoke and set light by him he is yet willing to try
them to the utmost whether they will so part with him ; whether
they will indeed let him go, or whether they will stir up them-
selves to take hold of him. You may see in Ezek., 9, 10, 11
Chapters, God so signalizing his departure from his People in
those several, gradual, visible, and observable removes of his
glory there mentioned, as if he had said, let them see me going,
*
92 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
that I may see if they have any love or regard for me ; God stands
at every step, looks back, listens if there were any that minded or
regarded.
Reas. 3. That they might have opportunity of striving to
keep God with them, and be quickened and stirred up to the
improvement of it that they might as the Prophet speaks, Jsa.
55, 6, Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him
while he is tiear. God makes offer to go from his People, threat-
ens to be gone, speaks of leaving them that they may be effectu-
ally awakened to enquire what's the matter, to reform what's
amiss, to repent of and part with those sins that are the causes of
God's threatned departure from them ; by such intimations
also, lest I leave you lest my Soul depart from you : God
would stir up his People, not to let him go, shake them up from
their loose sitting to him, and quicken them to lay faster hold on
him.
Reas. 4, and last. That whe?i God hath left a People, and
leaving them left them to destruction, they may be lost inex-
cusable ; that when God is gone he hath indeed cast off a People,
his Soul is departed from them, his heart and hand turned against
them (all means of precaution, prevention improved with them
proving unavailable) they may not have to complain but of them-
selves, and their wilful and remedyless self-destroying folly.
God goes not from a People but with observation, and after many
and evident premonitions and warnings, they shall not have to
say, alas, how hath God left us ? It was sudden, unexpected, un-
thought of else what would we not have done to prevent it: But
God will have to say, not only you gave me cause to go by your
sins, but (as it were) leave to go by your silence, your senseless-
ness; you know, and heard, and saw me going, and yet were no
more affected, stirred, no more then as those wholly unconcerned
about it, or well enough contented with it.
2. Yet God so threatens it that if it be not prevented, it will
come to that, he will certainly leave and lay them waste, take
off his heart from them, and turn his destroying hand upon
them. If Jerusalem, God's own people, will not be instructed,
let God threaten, warn, call upon, admonish, counsel them, noth-
ing takes with them, they lay nothing to heart, apply themselves
to no means of prevention but remain unadmonishable, incorigi-
ble, irreclaimable under all: God will leave and give over such a
people, though his own people: See Jer. 32, 31, 32, 33, verses.
God tells them he will remove them from before his face, because
of all the evil which they did, and because though he taught them
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 93
rising up early and teaching tbem, yet they hearkened not to re-
ceive instruction, so, 2 Chron. 36, 14, &c, God had compassion on
his People, and on his dwelling place : And hence bare with
them, forbare them, continued with much patience in the use of
abundance of means to wait upon them, but they continued to sin
and slighted all until the wrath of the Lord arose against his
People till there was no remedy. God warns in mercy, and may
continue to warn in much mercy: but to sin, to continue to sin
against warning, will at last bring wrath without remedy: And
the reasons of it are :
Reas. r. Because such is the nature of sin, such its contrari-
ety tinto God, so loathsome it is in his sight that impenitent ly,
irreclaimably persisted in, it will work any People, even his
own people out of his heart. God hates, abhors, abominates sin
as the Scripture abundantly witnesseth: It is that abominable
thing that he hates, Jer. 44, 4. Sin finds so little favour in God's
heart that he cannot abide the sinner in his sight ; he so hates the
work that he hates the worker of iniquity: The foolish shall not
stand in thy sight, thou hatest the workers of iniquity, Psal.
55, Not only for sin did the Lord eject, abhorre these heathen
nations whom he cast out before his people, for they committed
all these things, and therefore I abhorred them, Levit. 20, 23.
But even his own Israel they were defiled with their own works
and went a whoring with their own inventions ; therefore was the
wrath of the Lord kindled against his People, insomuch that he
abhorred his own inheritance, and gave them into the hand of the
heathen, &c. , Psal. 106, 39, 40, 41. And what a fearful word is
that from God concerning his own People, the People of his choice
and love. Amos. 6, 8, The Lord hath sworn by himself, saith
the Lord of Hosts. I abhor the excellency of "Jacob, and hate
his Palaces, therefore will I deliver up the city and all that is
therein. So much was the heart of God alienated from them, so
deeply was he disaffected to them by their sinful and unwofthy
deportments, of which you have mention made in the foregoing
Context. God loved Israel, Hos. 11, 1. Yea but sin (that make-
bate sin that separateth chief friends) was of power to expel them
both, his heart and house for the wickedness of their doings. I
will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more,
Hos. 9, 15. Never is God so wedded unto any People but they
may sin so as utterly to work themselves out of his affections.
Reas. 2. Because it is not for any worthiness in them more
thaft any other People that God is taking them to be his People,
and setting his love upon them, as God tells Israel, Deut. 7, 7, 8.
94
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
If they therefore forfeit distinguishing grace and mercy by their
unworthiness, they neither were, nor are better than others, nor
is there any reason why God should continue them to be his Peo-
ple, continue his love and affection to them, regard them more or
make any other or better account of them than of any other Peo-
ple: See Amos 6, i, 2.
Reas. 3. Because God' 's free Promise and Covenant z's condi-
tionall. If they will be his People he will be their God, if they
will own him he will own them ; if they will continue with him he
will continue with them, but if they will none of him, he will none
of them; if they cast off him he will cast off them. 2 Chron.
15, 2, The Lord is with you while ye be with him, and if ye seek
him he will be found of you, but if ye forsake him he will for-
sake you. God therefore gives this as the reason of his deserting
them their deserting him. 2 Chron, 24, 20, Because ye have for-
saken the Lord he hath also forsaken you ; so God tells them,
breaking with him that he will break with them. Num. 14, 34,
Ye shall know my breach of Promise. Not that God breaks cov-
enant (never did he yet suffer, nor never will his faithfulness to
fail) but they failing forfeited (as is the case in conditional Prom-
ises) the obligation on his part God keeps touch with us as we
keep touch with him : Not that this is so to be understood, as if
there were anything in us, or doable by us to merit, deserve,
or make due in a way of Justice Gcfd's gracious presence with us,
nor yet as if an uncertain and undetermined will and purpose in
God, respecting his dealings with a People, took its measures
from them, were moved, changed, determined, according to their
carriage towards him nothing less ; all is of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will ; and of his free Grace
(yea, the very condition) whose it is to work in us both to will
and to do of his good pleasure: Yet God's absolute will and pur-
pose in himself is conditional in the dispensation of it unto us :
He takes no conditions from us, but he gives conditions to us, and
still reserving to himself according to his own sovereign pleasure,
to work toe conditions in us which himself requireth of us, he
dealeth with us according to them. And in very deed in this way
God wonderfully glorifies his Wisdom, Goodness, Justice in his
dispensations in propounding the most reasonable, equal condi-
tions as what can be more than to be with them while they are
with him ; to be found of them seeking him, not to forsake them,
but forsaking him, solemnly advising them for the best, and then
leaving People to their own choice and dealing with them ac-
cording to it.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 95
Reas. 4. Lastly. / might add, because God is most highly
dishonored, most exceeditigly provoked by the sins of his own
People ; a Peoples being God's own, and the more he is owning
of them, is so far from palliating and extenuating, that it greatly
aggravates and augments their sin against God, and their Judge-
ment from him. You only have I known of all the Families of
the Earth, therefore I will punish you for all yovr iniquities,
Amos 3, 2. There is not that in the sin of others that is in theirs;
others may sin better cheap than they may do, whom God hath
known and owned above others, they sin against greater Light
and Love, and Grace than do others ; the relation they stand in to
God, and the mercies that in that relation they stand under from
him, exceedingly aggravate their sin: do ye thus requite the Lord
O foolish People and tmwise ? Is he not thy Fat her- that hath
brought thee, that hath made thee and established thee, Deut.
32, 6. And besides by virtue of this relation, their sin is more
against God, and so more to him, more deeply resented by him
than the sin of others: God can much better bear the misbe-
haviours and undutiful carriages of persons at a greater distance
than in his own family, his own Children, this goes near him:
When the Lord saw it he abhorred them, because of the provok-
ing of his Sons and of his Daughters, Deut, 32, 19.
3. // concerns them therefore, or these things considered,
things thus standing to be instructed, to be advised, to heark-
en to counsel, to bethink themselves, to be convinced, affected, re-
pent, amend, convert, and turn to God, lest they bring it to that wo-
fulpass. Zeph. 2, 1, 2, Gather your selves together ; yea gather
together a nation not desired before the decree bring forth, &c.
How earnestly doth God call upon them to recollect themselves (for
that seems to be the sense of it) so rally their thoughts to bethink
themselves ; yea, to bethink themselves and be advised before it
be to late. But this is so Consonant with, and evident from the
whole current of Scripture: Seefer. 4, 4, 5, & 26, 2, 3, & 36, 2, 3.
That it may suffice to have pointed you to those places, in which,
with many more, God manifestly admonishes his People of this
duty, and presseth upon them the consideration how nearly it con-
cerns them to be instructed, warned, reclaimed, look about them,
bethink themselves before those threatned evils as evitable, un-
avoidably overtake them : 'Tis also so clear a consequent from,
and the grounds and reasons are so obvious in what hath been
already said, that I shall not stand further upon it, but proceed to
Application. And the only use we shall make of it is (according
to the intendment, and Scope, and Spirit of the Text) for solemn
96 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
admonition and awakening: Give me leave (your call hath done
it: yea, the call of God necessitates it) to apply my self to you
with all possible plainness and faithfulness in the Name of the
great God (whose unworthy spokesman unto you this day I am)
and in his word, according to the tenor (as we have it here) of his
awful warning to his People of old. Thus saith the Lord be
thou instructed. O New England, Be thou instructed O Con-
necticut Colony, lest my Soul depart from thee, lest I make thee
desolate a land tiot inhabited: Jerusalem ivas, New England
is, they were, you are God's own, God's Covenant People, and
what concerned them in that their day no less concerns you in this
your day, this word that the Lord sent to Jacob, and it lighted
upon Israel, comes now to be applyed to you ; change but the
persons & the relation is the same, and as to condition it is so
much the same, that (as some have observed) never were any
people more neatly to be paralleled with them : put but in New
England" ' s name instead of that of Jerusalem, and to you be-
longs, to you is the word of solemn caution and admonition sent;
and O that you would be perswaded to take it home to yourselves
that it might sink down into your ears and take hold upon all
your hearts ; and that it may so do.
1. Consider, it is possible that New England may sin away
God ; we may so sin. as to provoke the Lord to leave and lay us
desolate. What though we have layen near God's heart (as I
perswade myself this poor Land hath done) sin and falseness to
God may work us out of God's affections, alienate his mind from
us as it did from his dearest Judah of old: What? though God
dearly affecting us, hath been tenderly and carefully protecting
us (as is evident he hath done) we may by our sins so provoke,
grieve, disoblige him that he may change both heart and hand to-
wards us: Was it not so with his own People, the subjects of his
antient care and kindness: In all their afflictions lie was afflicted
and the Angel of his presence saved them ; in his love and in
his pity he redeemed them, and carried them all the days of old;
but they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit, therefore he was
turned to be their enemy, and fought against them, Isai. 63, 9, 10.
Never were any People so deeply fixed in the heart of God, or so
eminently privileged with the effects of his Love, but their sinful
wayes, their unworthy and unsuitable deportments towards the
God of their mercies hath wrought them out of his favour, and
brought them under his sorest displeasure : / have forsaken fnine
house, I have left my heritage, I have given the dearly beloved
of my soul into the hand of her enemy es, Jer. 12, 7. God's own
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 97
People, how much soever he hath owned them, or how tenderly
affected soever he hath born himself towards them, may not con-
clude from thence (while they take no care to carry themselves
accordingly) that God will not forsake and destroy them: indeed
such a presumptuous confidence men may have, as they had,
Jer. 7, 4, &c. But as you may there see God rejects their con-
fidence, beats them off from it, bids them not trust in lying
words, but bids-'them go; go ye now unto my place which was in
Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did
unto it for the iniquity of my People Israel ; and how many
after examples of like nature hath God added to that first presi-
dent, so that (as one saith) we have more places to go than to
Shilo. The Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them
out of his sight; there was none left but the tribe of Jadah only,
2 Kings 17, 18, And the Lord said I will remove Judah also out
of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this
City Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the hottse of which I
have said my Name shall be there, 2 Kings 23, 27. And with
like severity hath the Lord (in New Testament times) proceeded
against Ephesus and those other Asian Churches to the utter
rejecting and unchurching of them, according to what was
threatned, Rev. 2, 5. And are all these things nothing to us?
Can we look upon what befel them and not be concerned, to think
what may come upon ourselves ? the Lord that by all these in-
structing examples we may be instructed, lest it befall us as it
hath done them ; be we awakenedly apprehensive that it may so
do, believe we that God's Soul may depart from us, he may make
us desolate as he hath done them.
2 . Consider it looks very threatningly lest it come to this ;
it is not only possible that it may, but too too probable, exceeding
tremendously suspicious that it will come to it ; to be plain with
you (I dare be no other) according to the present face, and frame
and posture of things amongst us, we are in very fair way (or
more fitly to express a matter of that nature in a very formidable
way) to bring it to that woful pass, that is of sad, of very sad but
of very sensible consideration, to those whose thoughts are exer-
cised about, and have any discerning in matters of this nature,
who sees not (& who that is awake doth not tremble to see) that
things are going, yea every day more than other growing towards
that fatal issue ; God's people are not wont to fall off from him at
once ; nor he to take his farewell all at once ; there are many
dark and crooked, and winding and downward steps before
it comes to the bottom of this break-neck hill, with a
98 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
God-forsaking and forsaken people ; is it of no less certain than
solemn observation that God's New England People sit looser
unto God than they have sometimes done, and that he also
sits looser unto them ; it looks alas, it looks as if those dear and
ancient Friends were about to part, and were even standing upon
parting termes one with another. Consider we our wayes towards
God and his wayes towards us, and the one and the other, and
both together will present us with an aspect of a very threatning
tendency towards bis utter leaving of us.
1. Consider we our wayes and doings towards God, and see
if we have not cause, much cause to fear that God will leave us,
take off his heart from us, and turn his destroying hand upon us.
And here,
1. More generally Consider, Do not our sinful wayes and evil
doings give us cause to fear lest the Lord leave us; the evilness,
sinfulness of our wayes and doings is so evident and apparent
that there needs no secret search: how many above.board in-
stances might be given you, of which we may say, it is found
upon all these ; our iniquities testifie against us, our pride and
many other sins testifie to our faces the truth of this beyond all
denial, aud being so how threatniugly doth it look that God
will leave us, take off his love from us, and lay a wrathful hand
upon us ? Indeed sinners are prone to have slight thoughts of
God too as to his making so great a matter of it that he should
thus do ; but if you will take up true Scriptural notions of it, and
such as God himself puts upon it, verily you will find that in it
that will tell you that it is a righteous thing with God thus to deal
by a people so demeaning towards him, and that they therein receive
that recompence of wayes that is meet. What is sin (I mean not
inevitable, unwilling and lamented weakness and infirmities, but
sin purposely committed, and impenitently persisted in) ? I say,
what is sin, such manner of sinning, in the true Scripture notion
of it in the judgement of God, which is according to truth ? Is it
not a forsaking God ? And have we not cause to fear forsaking
God he will forsake us ? Is it not a departing, a going away from
God ? And we leaving God, may we not expect he will leave
us ? Is it not a casting off God, and we casting off him ? Have
we not reason to think he will cast off us ? Is it not a revolting
from God ? a revolting from under the Lord ? a casting off his
Government ? a rebelling against him ? And what can we count
upon or look for thus doing, but that God should turn his back
upon us, cast us out of his favour and protection, deal with us as
Rebels, become our enemy, and fight against us ? Yea, is it not
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.

a hating God, an abhorring him in your souls (whatever you call
or count if God calls or counts it so), and can you thus dealing by
the blessed God hope other or better than that his Soul should
loath them whose soul abhors him, that he should repay them
that hate him to their face, to destroy them ? In a word, sin is a
heart departing from God in the root of it, and a life departing
from God in the fruit of it ; men having first withdrawn their love
and affections from God as the consequent of it withdraw their
duty and allegiance, and being thus revolted and gone from God
in heart and life, in affection and action, in spirit and conver-
sation; have we not just cause to fear lest God's Soul depart from
us, and he withdraw all the outward effects of his care and good-
ness towards us, and so make us desolate ?
2. Consider further, and somewhat more particularly ; are not
those sins to be found, yea do they not abound and grow rife
amongst us, that are very gravamenous, nautious, distasteful
unto God, that eminently tend to disaffect God, disjoynt
his soul from us, and provoke his sorest Displeasure against
us, First. Let me lay my hand upon that that lies at the
bottom of all our other sins, and which of all our unkind-
nesses towards a good God he takes most tenderly, and layes
deepest to heart, and that is our unworthy entertainments of the
glorious Gospel of the blessed God; our receiving of the grace of
God in vain, the neglect of that great salvation to continue im-
penitent, unconverted ; unbelieving under the Gospel is to sin to
the outmost, being the outstanding of uttermost grace and mersy,
and brings wrath to the uttermost indeed ; if uttermost love, ut-
termost grace rejected, what but uttermost wrath is to be expect-
ed? In the Gospel God hath made a way for his mercy, he hath
poured forth all his grace, he has no more, he has drawn forth his
soul, his tenderest Bowels mercys to the other end to poor needy
sinners, and for them to set at naught and slight all this ; this if
anything will make God forget to be gracious: nothing wins upon
the heart of God more than the hearty entertainment of the Gos-
pel, but nothing wounds God more, weans his Soul from a people
more than a regardless contempt of it: for a company of poor,
miserable, wretched, abject, undone, damned siuners to put a
slight upon the strange, wonderful, astonishing grace of the great
God in Jesus Christ towards them, bid him keep his Christ, his
Pardon, his Grace, his Peace, his Life, his Salvation to himself as
in effect they do that repent not, nor beleive the Gospel : I must
leave you to imagine how God takes this ; is not this the Salvation
that is by Jesus Christ ? the thing that God hath set his heart
IOO WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
upon ? is it not the most pleasing contentful design (to the utmost
that we know) that ever he engaged in ? hath not God laid out of
the greatest Skill and Cost upon it? and hath he not projected
and promised to himself the greatest revenue of glory from it ?
and for us to slight and set at naught, and what in us lies wholly
frustrate it, will God can God take this well ? We worms can
take it grievously enough to have our design frustrated, that we
have beaten our heads about, laid our selves for, set our hearts
upon, and promised our selves much from, think then what a cor-
rasive it is to the heart of God to be so dealt by in that which he
hath set his mind upon, never anything more. O Sir, would you
study to thwart, to cross God, to do the greatest despight ; there
is no way like this, and will God bear it to have the deep counsels
of his Wisdom derided, the great purpose, the pleasure of his will
opposed, the wisdom of his love slighted, the riches of his grace
despised, his Son the darling of his Soul contemned and rejected,
yea himself in all that he is, and has, and can do for poor creat-
ures (all his gracious and merciful overtures to them notwithstand-
ing) utterly set at naught ; will not God visit for these things ?
will not his soul be disjointed from, and avenged upon such a
people as this? Again, Are -we not guilty of great Apostacy
from God? a sin greatly distasteful to him: If any man draw
back my soul shall have no pleasure in him, Heb. 10, 38. And
are not we of those that draw back in such degree (the Lord grant
it may not be unto perdition) that we have much cause to fear
lest his soul depart from us ? is there not with too many of us too
evident a defection from God and the good wayes of the Lord in
their very judgments and opinions ? In their judgments they are
not the men they were, they are not in their judgments such fast
friends to the power of godliness, as sometimes ; they do not lay
that weight, that necessity upon a close walking with God, and
serious diligence in a way of duty upon Closet, Family or more
publick performances, as sometimes, so that if men do not begin
to cavil against, or question about these things, where is the rule
for daily secret Prayer, meditation, self-examination ? or where is
the rule that a Man must every day read a chapter or two in his
Family? Yet their judgments are secretly, insensibly wrought
off from laying the weight and stress upon these things. As to
the constant, diligent, accurate, thorough attendance to them, as
that they can go out with many neglects, and many remiss,
slight, hasty, half performances, and their consciences not much
reprove them ; the working out their salvation with fear and
trembling, utmost care and diligence the striving to enter, and
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. IOI
taking the Kingdom of Heaven by violence, begins to look more
than needs ; and the exercise of self-denyal in the holding their
senses under restraint, and government and constant watchful-
ness over their hearts and waves, seems a kind of overstrictness :
Men are gone off in their judgments, stand not so clearly and
fixedly perswaded in their own minds of the necessity and im-
portance of such attendencies, and begin to take up an opinion
that there needs not so much ado that all this is not of that abso-
lute necessity, but that it will be a tolerable thing, at least to
abate somewhat from it. And to evident is it that we are to
much backsliden from God in our affections and conversations :
we have lost our first love and left our first works ; if the love of
New England's espousals be now sought for, it will not be
found. And if the footsteps of those that first followed the Lord
into this, as then unknown land, be enquired after how dim and
almost worn out will they appear ? Where is that ancient love,
desire, delight to and in the Ordinances of God, and all the
means of Communion with him, and that careful and exact walk-
ing with God in all those ways of duty, both toward God and
Man now become ?
Verily, we are gone backward, backward and not forward, and
verily these backward retrograde God forsaking Motions carry-
such hateful unthankfulness unto God, such to be abominated
falseness, perfidiousness to him ; yea, they cast such reproach and
contempt upon God, put such a publick slight upon him, put him
to such open shame in the eyes of the world, for a People after
some tryal made of him and of his service, thus to decline, shrink
back from and forsake him, that we have cause to fear God, will
take himself in honour bound to right himself in the ruine of such
People
I tremble to think (the truth of the charge there made consid-
ered) how wishly that threatning looks upon us. Jer. 15, 6,
Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward,
therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee and destroy
thee.
Again, Is there not amongst us that hypocrisie formal-
ity, overlyness, outsidness in the matters of God and Godliness ?
That God that searcheth the heart, and desireth truth in the
inward parts, cannot but see and hate a form of Godliness, the
upper garment of Saintship (though even that now with many grows
thin and thread-bare), is in fashion, and a great wear amongst
us ; but inside Christianity, the power of godliness, is but here
and there found ; there is an outside godliness, an external show
102 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
still with us, we hear, we pray, we receive Sacraments, we have
our Conference Meetings, our Lectures, Fasts, and other Solemni-
ties ; we are conversant in external acts of Worship but inside
godliness, and that in which indeed the life and soul of it lies, the
loving God, fearing God, trusting in God, delighting in and liv-
ing upon God in the ways and means of communion with him ;
these internal, vital acts of worship, where almost are they to be
found ? Of us may God revive the old complaint and say, this
people draw near tne with their month, and with their lips, do
honour ?ne, but have removed their hearts far from me, Isai.
29, 13. And have we not cause to fear that God's soul, his affec-
tions, his Salvations will be far from those whose hearts are far
from him: those that having a form of godliness, but denying the
power of it, God hath bidden his own from such turn away, and
may we not expect that himself will much more do it ; how can
we say, we love him, when our hearts are not with him, or if we
do so say, will God be mockt ? will he accept us ? Yea, will he
not detest us for a dissembled profession of what is not. Me-
thinks destruction from God should be a terrour to us when we
read what near neighbors a hypocritical nation, & the people of
God's wrath are as we do ? in that Isai. [sic] 10, 6. Again, a cold,
dead, indeed indiffere7it, luke wartn spirit, a temper greatly
nauteous unto God. Rev. 3, 16, Many may their portion be made
fat, and their meat plenteous, as to temporals little mind or mat-
ter which end goes forward as to spirituals, or as to civils, or
order thereunto, methinks men seem to have spent (alas lament-
ably to have mispent) their zeal about matters of Religion I can-
not but remember what sad and breaking contentions we have
had not many years since about Church-priviledges, and that
earnest stickling that hath been with men for the obtainment of
them, for themselves and theirs. A charitable heart would sure
have thought that men's souls had longed for those wayes and
means of communion with God, and that a zeal for the enjoyment
of God in all his Ordinances had influenced those contendings for
and about them. But alas, who can but be sad upon it to see the
end obtained, and a door set open to those enjoyments, and such
a dull spirit of indifferency as to these things, at least as to mak-
ing any real and answerable improvement of them : Is this our
zeal for God, his Ordinances, the good things of his house, that
chills and dyes if it have not a spirit of contention to cherish and
keep it warm ? This fire withdrawn, we discover ourselves, as
indeed we are, a cold, luke-warm people ; verily it must be some
more kindly heat that must keep us warm upon the heart of God>
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 1 03
or we shall wamble upon his stomack and be in eminent danger to
be spued out of his mouth.
Again, Are we not guilty of great ingratitude unto God, of
unworthy unthankful slighting and undervaluing the great things
he hath done for us, the blessings of the upper and nether springs,
Spiritual, Temporal Mercies, with a liberal hand bestowed upon
us ? Verily, I think we have run deep into Divine displeasure
upon this account; and that if every People, New-England hath
cause to fear, lest wrath be upon them for their not rendring
again according to the benefits done unto them. Men have
known too well how to be discontent, and repine and murmur ;
but how to be thankful they have not known : if they have been
ever so little crossed, or pinched, or charged, the Magistracy hath
been discontented, the Ministry discontentful, they could even
with a change like pettish Israel, Let us make a Captain and re-
turn into Egypt : Much alas, too much of the spirit of that un-
thankful, untoward, froward, discontented murmuring generation
that was so grievous to God hath been amongst us, and hath
given us cause to fear that partaking of their sins ; we shall par-
take of their plagues: Alas for the day it looks, as if a provoked
God were about to bring it upon an unthankful People, when we
shall know the worth of those mercies in their want, which we
have not known in their enjoyment, when Justice shall be turned
into gall, and the fruit of Righteousness into Hemlock; when
as Mic. 7, 3, 4, The Judge ask for a reward, and the great man
utter eth his mischievous desire ; so they wrap it up the best of
them, and as a briar, and the most upright of them sharper
than a thorn hedge. In that day will unthankful New-England
be moved to know the worth of their precious, but low pric'd lib-
erties; as sensible as were the men of Sue cot h under Gideon's
severed discipline. Again. Our great pride prognosticates
sadly. I do not mean only or mainly those toyes and unmanly
vanities that trie minds of younger, and too many older persons
are set upon, though sad and bad enough it be, that the hearts of
Men and Women, made for a better place, are got into their
sleeves, but that haughtiness of spirit that predominates amongst
us, every no body would be some body, and persons of a com-
moner rank, look but too earnestly towards the upper end of the
World; men know not their places. The child behaves himself
protidly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable:
Men's conditions sit uneasie, and their callings suit them not, and
more especially that stoutheartedness that transports men to an
awlesness, not only of men, as vested with his authority, they will
104 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
bear uo yoke in any relation ; but even of God himself ; they fear
not him in his Word or Works, and what shall we think of this
pride ? put first among those things that God hates ? that are
abomination to him? Prov. 6, 16, 17. And will God (think we)
love or loath a proud people ? Hath God respect to the lowly ?
But doth he know the proud afar off? Psal. 138, 6. And may
not our hearts ake to think how far we are from the favorable and
respectful knowledge of God ? and how superciliously, and at
what a distance God holds us ? Hath God said, That to this man
will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and
that trembleth at my words? Isa. 66, 2. How are persons of a
proud and contemptuous spirit, that are so far from trembling at
the Word of God, that they can freely, and fearlessly despise both it
and them that bring it resented by him ; and to conclude, If pride
goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall,
Prov. 16, 18, we have cause from the consideration of what it
hath been amongst us to fear what will follow.
Again. Our great worldliness looks wofully upoti us; the
World, the love of the World, the zeal of the world is too deeply
gotten into the hearts and lives of men, and hath so thoroughly
possessed them, that there is no room for anything else ; their
eyes and their hearts are not but for their covetousness. There
was a generation that first fought the kingdom of God, but now
with many it is the world, the world that is first and last fought,
or if the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness have anything
from them, it is the leaving of the world they are put off with.
It is covetousness, so Paul. Col. 3, 5, is the love of the world
spiritual adultery; so Jam. chap. 4, 4. And doth God hate these
sins as much as in the days of old ? Can we think that such an
Idolatrous, whorish spirit that is found in the midst of us will not
alienate the mind of God from us, is the friendship with the
world Enmity with God, whosoever will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God, Sam. 4, 4, is the love of the world and the
things of the world, exclusive of the love of God. If any man
love the World, the love of the Father is not in him, 1 John
3, 15. We may well fear, and not without a cause, that the love
of the world will leave us as little room in God's heart as it hath
done him in ours.
Again. That great sensual lity that is amongst us, and the
therein high abuse of Divine bounty : How can it but be very
evilly resented by God, when (as one aptly, and upon like solemn
occasion expresst it to you, as indeed the matter is) men fight
against God with his own goodness, turn the edge to his kindness
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. I05
against himself; not serving him with joyfulness and gladness of
heart in abundance of all things (but as much as in them lyes)
make his Power and Providence, his bounty and care to serve
with their iniquities, when men grow fat and kick, instead of
having their hearts lift up in the wayes of God, who had made
them to prosper, they lift up the heel against him, when God's
corn and wine is made provision for the flesh to fulfil the lusts of
it: the better God is to them, the more wanton, sensual, unclean,
temperate they are. O this galls, this provokes: How shall I
pardon thee for this, when I fed them so to the full, then they
committed adultery, &*c, shall I not visit for these things, &*c,
Jer. 5, 7, 9. Other things might be mentioned (but the time
would fail to insist upon particulars) the want of love and peace
(alas for the great decay of a spirit of love amongst Christians)
may make us fear that the God of love and peace will not take up
his abode with us; the want of righteousness (who sees not
great unrighteousness amongst us) may make us doubt that the
Rigateous Lord who loves Righteousness, and whose countenance
doth behold the upright, will remove his gracious presence farr
from us; so want of Truth, unfaithfulness, men's words, their,
promises, they are but like the hypocrites hope, they have no hold
in them, and do but deceive them that depend upon them ; a great
and common sin, and we may well think greatly provoking and
distasteful unto him whose stile is the God of Truth but I must
not follow these things any further, enough hath been said to tell
us that there is much of that of those sins found amongst us that
eminently tend to disaffect God toward us .
3. Consider yet again, as those are sins greatly nautious and
distasteful unto God, eminently tending to disaffect him towards,
and to take off his heart toward a People, so as they are found
amongst us, they fall under such considerations, such circum-
stances, such aggravations as cannot but render them exceed-
ing grievous to the very soul of God, and superlatively provok-
ing; but to intimate, hi the land of uprightness, we have dealt
thus wickedly : 'Tis the noble Vine that God hath planted so
lately that hath brought forth such degenerate fruits, such wild
grapes as these. Can this but be greatly provoking ?
Again. So have these roots of bitterness sprung up, that thereby
many are defiled ; these are not the sins of some few, but we
are many that have transgressed in these things: The evils
mentioned (at least as to many of them) are such as the body of
this people are deeply leaven'd and tainted with, and certainly
when such sins grow common, we have cause to think what is
106 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
coming. But again above all, The impenitent persistence in
these evils, after all God hath said and done to reclaim us,
looks dreadfully upon us : God hath tryed us with enterchange-
able dispensations, mercies and corrections, afflictions and salva-
tions, have had their turns and returns upon us ; yet we sin still,
he hath smitten ; yea, he hath consumed us but we have not
received correction ; he hath knock us off with many a hard blow ;
yea, with blow upon blow, and breach upon breach, but we hold
fast deceit and refuse to return : What shall God do with such a
People ? what may they expect from him ? Because I have
purged thee and thou wast not purged, thou shall not be
purged from thy filthiness any more until I have causedmyfury
to rest upon thee, Ezek. 21, 13. Our wayes toward God then
give us much cause to fear lest God leave and lay us desolate.
2. Let us consider God ' s wayes toward us, and see if they
also do not give us ground jealousie that the Lord is about to
leave us: Evident it is that the countenance of the Lord is not
toward us as heretofore ; the face of Divine Providence is full of
awful indiciums that God is taking off his heart, and withdrawing
his gracious presence from us: What said good Gideon, If the
Lord be with us why then is all this befallen us ? And where
are all his miracles that our fatliers told us of? May not we
so say, if the Lord be with us, if he be not about to leave us, have
not begun to disaffect us and estrange himself from us, why then
is all this befallen us ? And where are those signal tokens of his
presence, and all his wonder-working providences that our fa-
thers have told us of ? Is he with us as with them ? Alas for the
solemn and certain symptoms that he is leaving and forsaking of
us: Is God with us in his Ordinances, or is he with us in the wayes
of his Providences as sometimes ? Let us a little consider of
either.
I. Is God with us in his ordinances as sometimes? Two
things here.
1, Is God hearing and answering our Prayers as some-
times ? Our former times have afforded us many evident answers
of prayers, some memorable instances of which are upon publick
record, to which more might be added; but how hath it been
with us of latter days ? Have not our most solemn addresses unto
God greatly failed us of those signal and speedy answers ? hath
not God shut out ? yea seemed angry against the prayers of his
people in the time of the Indian War ? and since have we not had
matters of sorrowful observation as to this ? To omit other in-
stances, that second and sorer flood that was upon this River, not
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. I07
two years since, falling out presently upon a day of publick fast-
ing and prayer, as it is published to the world amongst remark-
able Providences, so cannot but be to us of awful remembrance
and remark as to what we are speaking ; God hath been nigh unto
us in all things that we have called upon him for; yea, mercy hath
prevent us; before we have called. God hath answered, and
while we have been yet speaking he hath heard ; but now, alas,
what cause to complain. We fast and he seeth not, we afflict our
souls and he taketh no knowledge.
2. Is God owning and influencing his Ordinances the ?neans
of his Grace as sometimes? Was it once a truth (which that
Reverend Person who Preached to you now eleven years since,
upon this occasion told you) that our Sion had multitudes con-
verted to her ? Hartford had so, New-haven had so, Windsor
had so, and so had many other Churches in this Land; multi-
tudes converted to them. How is it now? Are not our converts
comparatively like the grape-gleani?igs of the vintage, now and
then one comes dropping in. And me thinks also the word Sacra-
ments and other Ordinances are deinforced as to what they have
been ; God hath unclothed them, left them in a degree forsaken
of his sometimes working power and virtue towards the souls of
his own, they are net affected, humbled, quickened, raised,
warmed, comforted by them, as sometimes they do not pros-
per, thrive, flourish and bring forth fruit under them as hereto-
fore ; they do not find them such a feast of fat things, and so full
of marrow as in former days ; and can we have a sadder token of
God's withdrawing and estranging himself from us than his fail-
ing his Ordinances of the wonted influence of his spirit, both as
to Conversion and Edification.
2. Is God with us in the wayes of his Providences as some-
times? How many wayes, and for how long a time hath God
manifested his displeasure against us, his disfavour toward us ?
'Tis evident by the operations of his hand that the affections of
his heart are not to us as heretofore, for though it be a truth that
afflictions upon particular persons may have other causes, yet it
generally concluded that publick calamities are certain tokens of
Divine displeasure: when God smites a Nation, a People, a Coun-
try with War, Sickness, Famine, &c. They are undoubtedly
testimonies of his anger: And how hath God done by us ? Hath
not the sword gone through our Land ? hath not sore diseases had
their annual returns upon us ? Yea, of late both Summer and
Winter abode with us to the taking of many from us ? And
how sadly hath God of late years smitten us in all the
108 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
labours of our hands by blasting, mildews, catterpillars, worms,
tares, floods aud droughts ? And truly not only for all this his
anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still ;
but in all this God seems to be making a way for his anger, that
he may pour forth all his wrath. Observable is the way and
manner of God's dealing with his People of old, and the method
of his gradual proceeding against them, till at last he utterly re-
jected and destroyed them. 'Tis said, 2 King 13, 23, God would
not destroy them, neither cast them from his presence as yet.
He had not yet done it, neither would he yet do it, but how even
then he was making way for it: you may see, 2 King 12,32, He
began to cut them short. And 2 Chron. 28, 19, He brought thetn
low; and hath God begun to cut us short ? and doth he not go on
to cut us shorter and shorter ? Hath he not brought us low ?
And is he not still bringing us lower and lower ? How many
wayes hath God been, and still is short cutting, and low-bringing
of us ? He hath cut us short of our members, brought us low by
taking away many, and many Righteous Ones from us ; hath he
not (of late years especially) bereft us of many Magistrates,
Ministers, and other useful Persons, and added that late fore
breach, and causefully bitterly lamented loss to the rest ? And
hath he not cut us short in our comforts, brought us low by de-
priving us by one means and other of so much of the fruits of the
earth ? We have sown much and brought in little ; sowen Wheat,
Barley, good feed, but reaped Tares, Cockle, and such like trash ;
The ancient curse for sin is revived, and heightened upon us.
Under the rain that hath come oft upon us, and all the husbandry
God hath been at with us, we have not brought forth fruit meet
for him, by whom we have been dressed, and what measure we
have meeted: it hath been measured to us again: under such
means, and a promising, flourishing profession, little real fruit
hath been biought forth to God; and how like to this have we
found in that little good grain under goodly appearances, and a
great burden that the earth hath brought forth to us ? And doth
not the hand of God upon this account grow very awful toward
us ? is not the meat cut off before our eyes ? do we not see men's
crops fail them (at least in many places) year after year, and
every year more than other ? Should God go on to do by us a
few years more as he hath done for some years past, it would look
apace toward cleanness of teeth. And hath God not cut us short
of our credit and estimation ? brought us low upon that account also

lower than sometimes; when we were precious in God's sight, we
were honourable ; but when he makes no such account of a Peo-
ple, they soon go out of credit ; God hath made us to know the
truth of that, 1 Sam. 2, 30 (the subject that was insisted upon by
that eminently holy man of God this time three years) them that
honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall
be lightly esteemed; we have found the truth of that, that
them that honour God he will honour, and now God is verifying
the truth of that also, that those that despise him shall be lightly
esteemed: Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a re-
proach to any People, Prov. 14, 24. And New- England' s for-
mer and latter experiences may feel to both parts of the truth of
that Text. Under all these short cutting, lowering, afflicting dis-
pensations, may we not say in this day, as 'twas said, Israel
should do in that, when many evils and troubles should befall
them ? Dent. 31, 17. Are not these evils come upon us because
our God is not amongst us ? is not with us as he hath been, nor
favours us as he hath done. But I must pursue these things no
further which I have been drawn forth to follow thus far, if possi-
ble to make you sensible, both from the consideration of our
wayes towards God and his wayes toward us, that according to
the present frame and posture of things with us, it looks very ex-
ceeding threateningly upon us, least God leave us and lay us
desolate.
3. Consider, Hotv sad would it be, should it come to this : it
is evident from the considerations mentioned, that it may be so,
and also that it looks exceeding threatningly, lest it be so ; but
what a dismal thing would it be, should it be so indeed ! to lose
God's love, his favour, his good will; to have his soul depart from
us, what a dreadful thing would it be ! How emphatically doth
God shut up sundry sore threatnings with this as the most miser-
able complement of ! Yea, wo also unto them when I depart
from them, PIos. 9, 12, that burden, Jer. 23, 33 (so it is there
called) I will even forsake you, saith the Lord : it is the most
intolerable, crushing, back-breaking Burden that was ever laid
upon any people for God to disaffect, reject, forsake a people, it
is the most formidable thing that can bef al them : In his favour
is life, his loving-kindness is better than Life : it is the founda-
tion, fountain and well-head of all our good ; all that good is, is
originally, virtually and eminently contained in it, founded upon
and flowing from it; but to be rejected of God, cast out of his af-
fections, it is in itself the sorest judgment; it hath in it all that
evil is, and it is the source of all that doth, or may, or can fall out
IIO WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
sadly or unhappily to us: if we have God's heart we cannot want
his hand: if he be with us, if he be for us, who or what shall be
against us? If he cause his face to shine upon us, we shall be
saved: but if he take off his heart, forsake, hide his face from us,
we shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befal us,
all kinds of calamities will crowd in ; mischiefs will be heaped
upon us if God take his presence (and consequently his peace)
from us, even loving-kindness and mercies : what will follow but
that he will vex us with all adversity ; our wife-men will be infat-
uated, our men of courage and activity dispirited, our peaceable
and guidable men froward and headlong, nothing will prosper
with us, but all things will conspire and work together ruineward ;
counsel, strength, protection, sustenance, all will fail us: Sword,
Sickness, Famine, evils of all sorts grow in upon, pursue and
cleave unto us till they have consumed us. And further, let me
here add that consideration, that should it come to this with us,
God should take off his heart from us, turn his hand against us, it
will certainly fall exceeding aggravatedly heavy up07i us. It
will so eminently, in a two fold respect.
i. // will be a sad and sorrowful thing indeed, when as it
threatened, Josh. 24, 20, God shall turn and do us hurt, and
consume us after that he hath done us good : Miser um est
fuisse.
There is no greater misery than to have been happy ; it is more
to be brought than to be born low, to be degraded than never to
have been exalted: worse is so much the worse by how much we
have known better: Thoic hast lifted me up and cast me down,
saith the Psalmist, aggravating his affliction, Psal. 10, 2, 10.
How art thou fallen from Heaven, 0 Lucifer, Son of the
Morning ? was the cutting question to the King of Babylon, in
the day of his ruine, Isai. 14, 12. And it was the deapth of feru-
salem's wo, that she came down wonderfully, Sam. 1, 9. Know,
if you lose God you will be miserable many, many, that never
knew what it was to enjoy him as you have done: When you
have lost God, his love, his favour, and lost your all in that loss,
then to look back and bemoan yourselves, 0 that we were as in
months past, when the Almighty was yet with us : then to re-
member in the days of your affliction and misery all the pleasant
things that you had in the days of old, then to lament that you
once had a God, what a bitter, bitter and heart-breaking thing-
will it be.
2. When God turns to do a people hurt after he hath done
them good, they may expect he will do them hurt according as
he hath done them good, Deut. 28, 63.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. Ill
And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over yon
to do yoti good and multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over
you to destroy you, and to bring you to naught : of whom God
saith, you only have I known ; God hath an evil, an only evil for
them, Ezek. 7, 5, For whom God hath done, that which he hath
not done, against them will God do that which he hath not done,
and whereunto he will not do any more the like, Ezek. 5, 9.
The punishment of the inigtiity of the Daughter of my People
is greater than the punishment of Sodom, Sam. 4, 6. Under
the %vhole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon
Jerusalem, Dan. 9, 12. There was no sorrow like that of Sion,
wherewith the Lord afflicted her in the day of his fierce anger,
Sam. 1, 12. Wo unto us when God (turning to do us hurt shall,
come to measure us by the same Rule that he hath done us good
by: Will not New-England then be made one of the blackest
spots of earth under the heavens of God ?
4. Consider, It may yet be prevented; and what mercy it is
that it may so be in that things come not to this woful pass ? will
we yet be perswaded to hearken to the counsel in the Text ? will
we yet be instructed, bethink ourselves, repent, amend, convert,
turn to God, he will not leave us, ae will not cause his anger to
fall upon us: and wherein he hath so done, we returning unto
him he will return with us : Doubtless God is spirited and acted
toward us by the same Rule that himself gives us. Prov. 27, 10,
Thine own friend and thy father s friend forsake not: God
hath been our friend, and our father's friend, we have had (as I
may say) his favour by inheritance ; because he loved our fathers,
he hath chosen their seed after them, and loth he is both for our
own and their sakes (his grace and mercy having descended thus
upon us) to disinherit us, nor will he do it, if after all we yet
prove not utterly uncounselable and incorrigible. The love and
kindness of Neiu- En gland 's first times stick by him; all our
back-slidings, unworthy carriages, evil requitals have not so
wholly razed out the remembrance of it, but that God hath sensi-
bly manifested even in the way of his judgment, many relentings
of heart toward us, and would we yet be perswaded to recede our
pursuit of vain things that cannot profit nor deliver, for they are
vain, and unsaintly, and with our whole heart return to him, how
would his bowels be moved for us ? his passions stirred up to meet
us at our coming, and his heart knit unto us ? And think also what
an act of grace it is that God will thus accept of, and re-entertain
repenting and returning sinners ; it is a great act of grace for God
totake any to be his People ; but it is a much greater to fall in
112 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
again with those that have deeply revolted from him: O me-
thinks such peerless, unpattern'd, unparrall'd mercy, as such it is
proposed in the third chapter of this prophesie, vers, i, should
melt, overcome, win upon the hearts of poor sinners ; thougJi we
have played the harlot with many lovers will God yet receive
us. O will he methinks, as persons overcome of mercy, our very
souls should say, behold we come unto thee, for thou art the Lord
our God.
5. And lastly Consider, That if we be not instructed, continue
incorrigible, irreclaimable, God will certainly leave us, his
soul will depart from us, and he will make us desolate. We
may natter ourselves in our own way until our iniquity be found
to be hateful; bless ourselves in our hearts while God's anger
smokes against us ; cry peace, peace, until remediless ruine come
upon us, and there be no escaping ; but assuredly what God
threatens, unless Repentance intervene, he will accomplish: Me-
thinks it fares between God and New-England People, as be-
tween a tender hearted Parent and an untoward, stuborn child;
the poor afflicted Father, with many yearning bowels bespeaks ;
yea, begs, beseeches him. O my son be instructed, be perswad-
ed, bethink thyself, hearken to counsel ; and in the issue begins
to tell him, well son, look to it, if thou goest on thus, and nothing
will do with thee, thou wilt lose thy Father's heart at last, as
well as I have loved thee, my affections will be wholly weened off
from thee, I will disown, disinherit, turn thee out of doors; and
shall it come to this between God and us, if we continue unin-
structed it will come to this. We shall lose God's love, leave our-
selves no more room in his affections, utterly harden his heart
against us, work it to that issue, that God will thoroughly disaf-
fect us, and what then ? Why, when God thoroughly disaffects a
People, then as in Chap. 15 of this prophesie, vers. 1, 2, though
Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind eould not be to-
ward this People, cast them out of my sight, and let them go
forth ; such as are for death to death and such as are for
the sword to the sword, a?id such as for famine to famine,
and such as are for captivity to captivity ; as if God should
say, I cannot abide them, they have quite lost my heart, I
I can no more affect them ; let who will intercede for them, away
with them, let them dy, be slain, famished, captivated, no matter
how many wayes, so they be any ways destroyed. This, even
this will be the fatal upshot that our sins and rebellions will bring
it to between God and us if we be not instructed. And now I be-
seech you reflect upon what hath been said, lay together the
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. II3
considerations that have been laid before you, and think whether it
be not high time to hearken to that awful, yet compassionate ad-
monition of the Text, Be thou instructed O New-England, lest
God's soul depart from thee, lest he make thee desolate, a land
not inhabited: Methinks we should find ourselves concerned, and
that all sorts of persons, as those that came to John Baptist,
should be, asking what shall we do ? and what shall we do ; Mag-
istrates, Ministers and Masters of Families, men of all ranks and
conditions, should be earnestly enquiring what shall we do, and
what shall we do as to the retaining and regaining the good will
of God. and keeping his gracious presence with us ? And possi-
bly it is expected (according to the ordinary use upon these occa-
sions) that by way of answer I should apply myself to these and
those, but the time takes me off. Much Honoured ; I know much
lyes upon you (and although my haste be great) , let me call at
your door with that of the Psalmist, Psal. 2, 10, 12, Be instruct-
ed ye Judges of the Earth, kiss the Son; professedly and actu-
ally own Jesus Christ, signalize your love and affection, your
homage and subjection to him, even in such a day as this; what
difficulties or hazards this may cast you upon, or what disfavour it
may work you, or with whom it is my business to say, and I hope
will be besides yours to consider, suffice it me to say, and you to
think, that this is the way to the heart of God ; the way to get and
keep in with him, which is the thing we are upon: O shew your
love to Jesus Christ, your zeal for him, his cause, interest, wayes,
People, all his concerns, and set yourselves against whatsoever is
contrary thereunto, suppress sin, promote holiness to your utmost
power. And let me only in general say, both to you, Right Hon-
ourable, and to the Honourable Deputies with you, that make up
the grand counsel of this poor colony (I know you have not been
without deep thoughts of heart upon the account) if there be any-
thing yet do-able as to these things, either by Law making, or
Law executing, that may conduce to keep God with us, let it be
diligently done.
Nextly, I should have applyed myself to you, my dear and rev-
erend Brethren in the Ministry you are set for the instruction of
others, but it is not too much to be said to you (however it may
seem too much for me to say it) be you also instructed. O look
about you, it eminently concerns you, think what is yours to do,
that it may not come to the parting pull between God and this
People. I doubt not Brethren, could I lay my hand so near your
hearts, I could find them in old Ely s posture trembling for the
Ark of God, the God of the Ark, God and his Ark, his taking his
114 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
presence from us, and the signal tokens of the same ; but what is
ours to do that it may not be so, I know myself (though too little)
too well to take upon me to direct you ; let me only say as the
eyes of that Cripple, of whom you read, Acts 3, were upon Peter
and John, the poor man looked wishfully upon them, hoping to
receive somewhat from them, so my eyes, and the eyes of this
poor People are (under God) upon you earuestly, expecting that
you should do something for us, as the poor man in the Gospel,
Mark 9, once solicited your great Lord and Master in his day
upon earth for his woful sin ; let me bemoan to you the lament-
able condition of this miserable people, thus and thus it is with
us, and these and those means have been used with, and improved
for us, but to no purpose, if you can do anything have compas-
sion on us, and help us ; I know you are not in God's stead, but
as I was saying, under God our eyes are upon you ; and I be-
seech you remember that they are so.
Again, give me leave in passing to drop a word to the Free-
men ; be you also instructed as to the work of this day, as you
would not have God depart from us, disregard us, do not disre-
gard him in these grand motions, do not leave him out in your
Elections : surely it is not the ingraciating way with God to give
him cause to complain, as, Hos. 8, 4, They have set up Kings
but not by me, and have made Princes and I know it not: have
a respect to God in your Elections in having a respect to godli-
ness: not that every godly man is fit to make a Magistrate, or
every one that hath grace is fit to govern you may read, Exod.
18, 21, That they must be able men, as well as fearing God, not
only good, honest, well-minded, well-meaning men, but such as
sit chief (that you sit in that place) had need to be able to chuse
out the way of a People for the?n, Job 29, 25. Yea, and then
when it comes to a Day of Difficulty, it is not only integrity of
heart but skilfulness of hands that is required to the well man-
agement of the reins of government, Psal . 78, ult. Yet surely
Godliness is an essential qualification. Nor can you disregard it
without disregarding God in your Elections, would you have
God's heart with you ? chuse men of David's character, Acts
13, 22. Men after God's own heart ; it may be in such a day as
this there are many and great thoughts of heart, such a man is in
favor, and such a man is so and so ; I have nothing to say against
all prudential considerations (provided they always be pious)
upon these accounts, if policy were unlawful Christ would never
have bidden his Disciples to be wise as Serpents, Mar. 10, 16.
Policy and Piety, the Serpent and the Dove, do as well together
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 115
as they do ill asunder ; but what I have to say, and what the Doc-
trine under hand leads me to say, is chuse Men in favour with Lhe
King of Kings, who hath King's hearts in his hand to turn as he
will, and can if men's wayes please him, make even their enemies
be at peace with them.
Heads of Families would have been next spoken to ; there is
more than a little for them to do upon the great account we are
speaking.
I would also address myself to God's own dear ones amongst
us (those few names comparatively that are yet left us) that are
great and gracious with him, that they would have improved their
outmost interest for us, who can do great things with God ; that
they would desire mercies of the God of Heaven, I would have
begg'd the very sinners of the times, that at last they would not
thrust away God from us; but the time bids me have done.
I shall conclude all with two or three words of Instruction and
Direction.
1. Let us make work into a thorough confession unto God;
surely the want of this is our great wound, the core and root of
all our maladies ; our next complying with the calls of his grace
to a thorough, entire, irreserved closure with himself, hence have
grown those estrangements between God and us, that now
begin to look threateningly as to an utter parting ; and it is a
thorough conversion unto God that must lay the foundation of our
cure. I must confes the sense of this hath been so much with me,
since the call to this daye's work was undoubtedly laid upon me,
that I have had many thoughts to say neither of this nor of that
but to turn the whole stream of my Discourse into this channel:
O that you were to be prevailed with as to this, our work were
done at once ; and is there no perswading you ? though not only
God's gracious presence with you in this world, but your everlast-
ing enjoyment of him in glory in that other world lies upon it:
What shall I say to you sirs? I beseech you shew yourselves
men, act but the part of reasonable creatures (which looks like a
reasonable request), set but your understandings and thoughts
seriously to work, and I profess to you, it is beyond my conceiv-
ing (so doing) that you can be other than thorow, down-right
Christians: a thinking man can not be but a serious man; 'tis the
want of this that ruines men, Israel doth not know, my people
doth not consider, Isai. 1, 3, in consideration is the undoing of men
under means of knowledge ; men know enough, would they but con-
sider what they know, to make them in good earnest about matters
of greatest moment. I have a great request (to the unconverted I
Il6 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
especially intend it, knowing some will do much more than I say) to
make to this great congregation, and every person, I am under the
present opportunity of speaking to, which I am never like to be in
this world ; I have a great request to you, indeed, as to the thing
desired, it is but a small matter, but my heart is much in it ; and
I shall verily hope that this poor Sermon will not be utterly lost,
if you will but grant it; I beseech you deny me not, and 'tis this
that you would take some time to bethink yourselves of your
greatest concernments ; and I would fain beg some time every
day, but I will bring my request very low that I may not be
denied ; shall I obtain of you that you will constantly set apart
one half hour in a week ; be it on the Saturday night, or some-
time, and getting alone, set yourselves to this with utmost serious-
ness about the matters of your soul and your future and eternal
states; would persons be perswaded thus to do, I do think it
would be impossible for them to stand before their own thoughts:
I doubt not but if men would give themselves leave to think
what it would be to be in Heaven or Hell, for ever, it would
bring them to themselves : And, O were we thorough here as to
the work of Conversion, were the as yet utterly unconverted, but
converted ; were the half converted, the almost perswaded, but
altogether, but thoroughly converted, were the slight and for-
mal, and such as have a name to live, the professionally convert-
ed, but sincerely converted, were the converted, but so back-
slidden, fallen, that they stand in need of renewed conversions,
but reconverted: this would lay a foundation for the return and
still continuance of God's giacious presence with us.
2. Let us mightily stir tip ourselves to lay hold upon a de-
parting God: It is a very lamentable complaint the Prophet
makes, Jsa. 64, 7, that at such a time when God hid his face from
them, and consumed them because of their iniquities ; yet there
was none that called upon his Name that stirred up themselves
to take hold of him. Shall God go, and we be silent ? Shall we
see him going, and shall nothing be said to invite him back
again ? Methinks our hearts should be at our mouthes, our very
souls should sit upon our trembling lips, and we should even
disolve into sighs and supplications. O that we may humble our-
selves, greatly mourning over all the provoking causes of Divine
displeasure: We may bemoan ourselves, sensibly lamenting
after the Loid under all the hidings of his Face, and the
estrangements of himself from us ; we may awaken ourselves ex-
ceedingly, call up all our powers, put to our utmost strength,
plead with God ; yet thou Lord are in the midst of us, and we
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
117
are called by thy Name, leave us not ; wrestle it out with God,
and resolve we will not let him go; thus do, and though you have
gone far from him, return yet again to the Lord, cleave to him
with purpose of heart, and you shall find (though he hath made
many offers that way) yet God will not leave you.
3. And lastly, Be on God's side, espouse his interest, be you
ingaged in every cause that is his, own what God owns, and own
whom God owns, be not ashamed to appear for him, his wayes,
worship, people, however it may befal ; what though the world
turn a back-side upon these things (you know Moses his choice)
let us cast in our lot here : when the Persian Empire favored the
Church, the Samaritans would help build the Temple, and when
the Mordecai was great at court, many people of the land became
Jews; but God knows such fair-weathered friends, and makes
reconing of them accordingly; but that's the man God will own,
that Jesus Christ will own, that is not ashamed of him nor of his
words before a f roward and adulterous generation : that I say is
the man Christ will own at that day when to be owned by him,
will be found worth cf now owning of him at dearest rates: be it
that the tempest-tost, weather-beaten, and well neigh shipwrecked
state of the Church of Christ in an angry world, be as the Ship
wherein himself with his Disciples were imbarked, when in that
mighty storm that came down upon the lake, they were even
filled with water, and now ready to sink. My mite shall be cast
in here, as the Lord shall help me, my interest, my title, all what
it is, sink or swim, shall be ventured in this bottom ; and I be-
seech you, let us all put in here, have we not much greater and
better assurances than the trembling Marine that was told he car-
ried Cesar in his Barge ? Wo to us if an hour of temptation dis-
cover another spirit in us ; but if the Lord shall help us, owning,
cleaving to and abiding with him to approve ourselves in the day
of tryal ; and though we have fate too loose to him, and grown
slight and wanton in our prosperous times, nevertheless in an evil
day there shall be good things found in us, there will yet be hope
in our end.

CHAPTER VII.
MR. WAKEMAN'S HOME FAIRFIELD AND NEW FAIRFIELD
GRANTS.
DEV. SAMUEL WAKEMAN, on September 3,
*^ 1663, purchased of Humphrey Hide the dwelling
house that sometimes was the house of Thomas Dem-
mond, deceased, with his home lot adjoining, being in
quantity three acres, being more or less, bounded on
the northwest and southwest with the highways, on the
northeast with the lot of Robert Turney, on the south-
east with the lot that sometimes pertayned to James
Bennett, deceased. Alsoe one parcel of land over the
creek.
Mr. Wakeman came to Fairfield with means, and by
purchase and grant became owner of considerable real
estate. He lived in a house (afterward occupied by
Dr. Hull) that stood near the street in front of the resi-
dence where General Parker lived. The house had a
window each side of the front door, the door being in
the center of the front of the house, with a front room
on each side of door. There was an enclosed vestibule
outside of front door, and diamond-paned windows in
either side of the vestibule. There were rooms on the
second floor in front (See cut.)
The cut of the house given here is from a photo of
one now standing in Cohassett, Mass. It is said to be
almost an exact duplicate of the house of Rev. Samuel
Wakeman. The latter was torn down about 1838, and
Miss Hannah Hobart, of Fairfield, is the authority for
the resemblance of the two houses, as she not only re-
members Mr. Wakeman 's house, but also a picture of
124 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
it, which was hanging in Miss Hull's house in Fairfield,
Conn., up to about 1880.
Mr. Wakeman also owned the property where Mr.
Wetherbee's house stands. Rev. Mr. Wakeman 's wife
was daughter of Deputy Governor Stephen Goodyear,
who was one of the first settlers of New Haven, and
was a man of means and prominence.
It is supposed that he came from London, and that
he had been a merchant there. He was engaged in
commerce while in New Haven, and was associated with
Mr. John Wakeman in building or buying a ship and
using it for commercial purposes. It started on its
first trip in January, 1646, Mr. Lamberton being mas-
ter. Mrs. Goodyear was a passenger, and the ship
was never after heard of, and as one consequence, Mr.
Goodyear married Mrs Lamberton. Mr. Goodyear
was Deputy Governor of the Colony, elected annually
from the first settlement, until he went to London, and
was second only to Eaton. When the latter died Mr.
Goodyear was in London, where he had gone to live,
and this was the only reason for his not being elected
Governor.
He was rated at $5,000, and had nine persons in his
family. He had 350 acres of land in New Haven, and
paid over nine pounds in rates on it annually.
In 165 1 he sold Shelter Island, which he had owned
for about ten years, for 1,600 pounds of muscovado
sugar. This was unrefined sugar from the Barbadoes.
His farm was north of New Haven, near Pine Rock,
and when the establishing of a college at New Haven
was first considered, Mr. Goodyear offered to give his
house and lot for its use.
He was connected with John Winthrop in establish-
ing iron works in 1655 at the outlet of Lake Saltonsall,
near New Haven, the ore being dug from the bogs of
North Haven, and taken in part down the Quinnipiac
river in boats. He died in London prior to 1658.

The following copies of the patent of Fairfield and
the New Fairfield grant will be of interest, as showing
onr ancestors' connection therewith.
PATENT OF FAIRFIELD, GRANTED 1685.
The General Court of Connecticut hath formally granted to the
proprietary of the inhabitants of the town of Fairfield all those
lands, both meadow and upland, within these abutments upon the
sea towards the south about five miles in breadth, and in length
from the sea into the wilderness 12 miles, and upon Stratford
bounds on the east, and the wilderness on the north, and in Nor-
walk bounds on the west (only a parcel of land between their
bounds and Saugatuck river that is likewise granted to said Fair-
field, provided the said Saugatuck do not exceed two miles from
the said Fairfield) : the said lands having been by purchase or
otherwise lawfully obtained of the Indians, native proprietors.
And whereas the proprietary, the aforesaid inhabitants of Fair-
field in the Colony of Connecticut, have made application to the
Governor, and Council of said Colony of Connecticut, assembled
in Court May 25, 1685, that they may have a patent for confirma-
tion of the aforesaid land so purchased and granted to them as
aforesaid, and which they have stood seized and quietly possessed
of for many years last past without interruption. Now for a more
full confirmation of the aforesaid tract of land as it is butted and
bounded as aforesaid, unto the present proprietors of the said
township of Fairfield in the possession and enjoyment of the
premises. Know ye, that that the said Governor and Council
assembled in General Court according to the Commission granted
to us by His Majesty in our Charter, have given, granted, and by
these presents do give, grant, ratify and confirm unto Major
Nathan Gold, Mr. Saimtel Wakeman, Jehu Burr, John Burr,
Thomas Staples, John Green, Joseph Lockwood, John Wheeler,
Richard Hubbell, George Squire, Isaac Wheeler, and the rest of
the present proprietary of the township of Fairfield, their heirs,
successors, and assigns, forever according to the tenor of East
Greenwich in Kent, in free and common socage, and not by
capitte or Knight service, they to make improvement of the same
as they are capable, according to the custom of the country,
yielding, rendering and paying therefor to their Sovereign Lord
the King, his heirs and successors, his due according to Charter.
In witness whereof, we have caused the seal of the Colony to be
herewith affixed, this 26th of May, 1685, in the first year of our
126 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
Sovereign Lord, James the Second of England, Scotland and Ire-
land, King, Defender of the Faith, etc. By order of the General
Court of Connecticut.
(Signed)
Robert Treat, Governor.
John Allen, Secretary.
COPY OF NEW FAIRFIELD GRANT.
At a General Assembly holden at New Haven, Oc-
tober the 9th, 1707, and continued by several adjourn-
ments to the end of the seventeenth day of the same
month :
" Upon the petition of Capt. Nathan Gold, Mr. Peter Burr,
Capt. John Wakeman, John Edwards, Jonathan Sturgis, John
Barlow, Gideon Allin, Samuel Wilson, Samuel Jinnings, Moses
Dimon and Joseph Wakeman, all inhabitants of Fairfield, in be-
half of themselves and associates, for a certain tract of land to be
for a township, lying north of and near to Danbury, bounded
southerly on Danbury, running thence northerly fourteen miles;
bounded easterly on New Milford, westerly on the colonie line:
This Court grants to them, the said petitioners and their asso-
ciates, their heirs and assigns forever, the aforesaid tract of land
for a township, provided it doth not prejudice any former grants ;
to be under such regulations for the settlement thereof, and the
number of inhabitants as this Court shall judge fit." (P. 34, Col.
Rec, 1706-1716.)
There appears to have arisen some sort of a dispute
over the exact extent or meaning of the grant, and the
Assembly was called upon to define exactly what rights
the grantees had, and it appears that the patent was not
finally granted until about 1740. it is generally under-
stood and stated by historians that, owing to certain ir-
regularities, or for some other cause, no settlement of
the town was made until more than twenty years after
the grant was made, that is, about 1730, and exactly
who these settlers were no state records that I can find
informs us definitely.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 127
After the grant by the General Assembly in 1707
there is no reference in the records that I can find of
the new town of New Fairfield until at the General As-
sembly in Hartford in May, 1723, when Robert Silla-
man, Richard Hubbell (Martha Hubbell's father), Ben-
jamin Fairweather and others, asked that the grant of
1707 be more fully explained, " whether by said act the
patent of said land was to them granted, or how said
act was to be understood." The assembly decided to
continue the matter for decision to the October session,
when the grantees were ordered to appear and state
what had been done regarding the act granting them
the land. There the matter appears to have been
dropped, for there is no reference to the matter having
come up at the October session. At the May session,
1729, the memorial of Edward Lewis, of Stratford,
'-Agent for the Proprietors of New Fairfield," was
presented, and the consideration deferred until the Oc-
tober term.
Previous to this, in October, 1728, the Assembly
voted " that all that tract of land called New Fairfield,
lieing north of Danbury, west of New Milford and east
of the Government land, shall be annexed to the county
of Fairfield."
In May, 1735, the proprietors of New Fairfield ap-
peared before the General Assembly, "representing
the objections and difficulties they have heretofore met
with in their application for further confirmation of said
tract to them by reason of objections made by some of
the inhabitants of Fairfield," and asked that a commit-
tee be appointed to inquire into the matter.
The committee was appointed and ordered to report
in October at the next Assembly on what they "think
proper to be done in order to further confirm and settle
said tract according to grant made by the Assembly in
1707."
128 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
In October, 1736, the committee reported, and "it
was resolved, that if persons named in the grant, or
their heirs or assigns, shall settle on the tract so many-
good inhabitants as will make fifty families within three
years time, a patent shall be granted to them;" as is
seen by the following act of the Assembly:
Whereas this Assembly, at their sessions in October,
1707, did grant to Nathan Gold, Peter Burr and others,
of Fairfield, and their associates, a certain tract of land
for a township, bounded southerly on Danbury, and
and running from thence northerly fourteen miles;
easterly it bounds on New Milford, westwardly on the
Colony line; provided it doth not prejudice former
grants, and be under such regulations for the settle-
ment thereof and number of inhabitants as this Court
shall think fit: And whereas sundry persons, claiming
a right by said grant, have moved to this Assembly for
a patent for said lands : It is therefore resolved by this
Assembly that, provided the persons mentioned in the
grant, their associates, heirs or assigns, shall settle on
said lands so many good inhabitants as will make up in
the whole fifty families within three years next coming,
that then and in that case a patent for those lands shall
be granted and executed to the persons mentioned in
the grant, their associates, heirs, or assigns, and such
settlers their heirs and assigns as shall be settled as
aforesaid.
In May, 1737, the power was granted to the town to
hold meetings and divide the tract as the grantees saw
fit, and in May, 1740, town privileges were granted and
the town named New Fairfield.

From O'Callaghan's Documentary History of New
York, page 215, we learn that Ebenezer Wakeman
was one of the soldiers who went with Captain Gabriel
I30 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
Thompson to Albany. This was probably the Wood
Creek expedition.
This Ebenezer must have been the son of Rev. Sam-
uel Wakeman, and died in 1690.
The following data regarding Rev. Jabez Wakeman,
son of Rev. Samuel, is of interest. It was procured by
Mr. Emory McClintock :
FROM STEARN'S "FIRST CHURCH IN NEWARK," 1853,
PP. 106-109.
' ' Jabez Wakeman was about fourteen years of age when his fa-
ther died, and in the will direction is given that he be kept at
school and enter college the next August. The delay of a year,
however, seems to have occurred, for we find by the catalogue of
Harvard College — "the college," as the will denominates it — that
he was graduated in the year 1697. About a year and four months
after this date, the people of Newark, wishing to obtain an as-
sistant for their worthy pastor, had their attention turned towards
this young graduate, and appointed a committee to treat with Mr.
Wakeman and Mr. Prudden for that purpose. But the resigna-
tion of Mr. Prudden, which took place early in June following,
gave a new aspect to affairs, and shortly afterwards measures
were adopted to secure Mr. Wakeman's services as a candidate for
the pastoral office. He was first engaged to preach in that ca-
pacity for a year, but scarcely was the year half out before the
ardor of the people pressed the question to an issue, and at a
meeting held on the 15th of April, 1700, ' it was particularly in-
quired of every person whether they desired Mr. Jabez Wakeman
to be called to the pastoral office in this town, and they every one
manifested their willingness thereto, and also voted the same.' "
"The salary of Mr. Wakeman was, at first, ^60, but it was
soon after raised to ^80, the same with that of the two Piersons.
* * * # A subscription was also raised to procure for him a
' settlement,' that is a homestead or ' accommodations,' as in the
case of his predecessor ; in pursuance of which a house and its
appurtenances were purchased and presented to him by a deed of
gift, 'as the town's act and deed.'
"Mr. Wakeman became the sole pastor of this congregation at
the early age of about twenty-one years. He was a young man
of great promise, amiable, accomplished, and remarkably popular
in the pulpit. The attachment of the people to their young and
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 131
talented pastor appears to have been deep and tender. Under his
ministry the congregation became so much increased that addi-
tional accommodations were required for public worship, and the
town ordered a gallery to be built across the north end of the
meeting house. But the hopes of the people and the fair earthly
prospects of the young minister and his family were destined to
an early reverse. In the autumn of the year 1704 that fearful
malady, the dysentery, prevailing in a fatal form among the
people invaded his family. His little son Samuel, a child of two
years old, and an only one, died on the 29th of October ; and only
nine days later the father followed, leaving a childless widow and
a disappointed flock to shed tears over his early grave."
From the same, foot note to page no; tombstone

134 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
An inventory of the Estate of Samuel Wakeman, dec'd, being
exhibited to the County Court this 2d of Decamber, 1691 ; the
Court as yet not approving said Inventory do appoint Sarah
Wakeman, widow, Relict of said Sam'll, with Mr. John Edwards,

and this Court do approve the said will excepting the part that
respects Mary Wakeman, the eldest daughter of said Samuel
Wakeman, for whom there not being provision in said will for her
living, to which part of said will this Court do refuse a farther
liberty to say, by reason it is thought there may be some way
found to provide for said Mary.
The will of Samuel Wakeman, deceased, formerly presented as

est daughter of said Samuel was not provided for in said will ; the
said eldest daughter of said Samuel being now provided for as
followeth, viz. : the County Court this 1st November, 1692, do or-
der the widow, Relict of said Samuel, to take the said child,

Burr and said John Wakeman is appointed by this court to be
overseers to the said child, and that the said child shall not be
placed out to be brought up by any other without the consent of
one of the said overseers with the said widow ; and whereas said
John Wakeman was appointed executor with the said widow in
said Samuel's will; said John Wakeman strongly refusing the said
trust, this Court do order that said widow, Relict of said Samuel,
shall have the sole power of executing the said will, and this
Court do approve the said will and inventory and order them to
be recorded.

* Different from all the professional writers of his day was Joseph Den-
nie, the "American Addison," as his friends delighted to call him. Life
with him was at the best a play ; and one cannot wander far in the rough,
uncleared1 pathways of our early literature without coming often into the
warmth and sunshine of his presence. He was a native of Boston, and

Farmer's Museum of Walpole, N. H., 1795-1797, and was continued in the
Portfolio at Philadelphia from 1800 to 1812. He was an elegant scholar,
a graceful and pleasing writer, charming in conversation, a most winning
and delightful companion. His literary work, though universally read and
extravagantly praised at the time, proved ephemeral, like that of most of
his profession. His most famous essays, printed under the title of " The
Lay Preacher," touching with pleasant satire and amiable philosophy on
the follies and foibles of the time, mixed with not a little serious counsel and
good criticism, are now as if they had never been. In their day they were
famous. All the newspapers were in hot rivalry with each other to get the
first printing of them. The were compared to the writings of Addison and
Steele, and they made the young writer the center of the most interesting
group of wits and scholars then on the stage. Though a graduate of Har-
vard College, for some unaccountable reason he hated the college and de-
spised the faculty, and he delighted in making them the object of his satire.
He studied law, and began to practice ; but one day a client came in while
he was more agreeably occupied, and irom that time till he abandoned the
profession he kept his office door locked on the inside. The late Edmund
Quincy, in the fascinating biography of his father, speaks of the Portfolio
as "far superior to any magazine ever before attempted in this country" —
"a model of exact and careful editorship, and greatly beneficial in raising
the standard of literary taste in the country." It was strongly federalist in
its politics, and the most eminent federalist writers and statesmen did not
consider it beneath their dignity to contribute to its pages. While Dennie
lived in Philadelphia he was the soul of its gay, convivial society, and his
name still lives in its traditions. Tom Moore was one of his many guests,
wrote songs for the Portfolio, and joined in the nightly festivities. In one
of his poems relating to America I recall the lines:
" Yet, yet forgive me, O ye sacred few,
"Whom late by Delaware's green banks I knew ;
Whom, known and loved through many a social eve,
'Twas bliss to live with, and 'twas pain to leave.
Not with more joy the lonely exile scanned
The writing traced upon the desert's sand,
Where his lone heart but little hoped to find
One trace of life, one stamp of human kind,
Than did I hail the pure, th' enlighten'd zeal,
The strength to reason and the warmth to feel,
The manly polish and the illumin'd taste,
Which — 'mid the melancholy, heartless waste
My foot has travers'd — O you sacred few !
I found by Delaware's green banks with you."
Joseph Dennie died, in 1812, at the early age of 44 years. The Portfolio
did not long survive him.

He was appointed Captain in Fairfield,

assistant in May, 1724, and in May,
1725. He left an estate of over 5,000
pounds, including his house in Greens-
farms, of which we give a picture, and
also a house in Fairfield village.
The house of Captain Joseph Wakeman, now standing
in Greensfarms (Westport), Connecticut, formerly
a part of Fairfield, was built about the year 1700.
It was occupied by Captain Wakeman, and by his
lineal descendants by the name of Joseph, for four
succeeding generations. After the death of the
widow of the latter Joseph, it was sold to A. Jen-
nings, and is now used as a storehouse. It was a
stately mansion in its day, with stone steps and
stone walled terrace in front. Its timbers are
eighteen inches square, with heavy floor joists. The
kitchen is long and low, wainscoted to the win-
dows set high in the wall. The front rooms are fif-
teen by twenty feet, with nine foot ceilings ; doors
forty inches wide ; windows forty-two inches, with
twenty-four panes, eight by ten inches each. Every-
thing betokens the wealth of the owner. On the
southern side of the chimney is the old dining room ;
here the sideboard held his silver tankard and cups.
The staircase has a low balustrade of turned wood,
the caps of the newel posts being carved. In the
lesser attic the slaves had their quarters, and the
attic story over-hangs on three sides which enabled
the occupants to shoot at the Indians most any time
without much risk. One of the front chambers held,
during the Revolution, much British gold (as the
English officers made their headquarters here at
the time), and the daughter of the house who at-
tended to the room thought that she would like a
little of it and put one coin under each bed post,
but it was discovered. This house and that of his
son Stephen, and grandson Captain Stephen, were
the only houses in Greensfarms that were not
burned by the British ; Captain Stephen's being left
because of some kindness he showed some prisoners,
but he was half sorry it was not burned as he feared
that his neighbors would think that he was a Tory.

Mary (Wakeman) Hazzard was sent to Bos-
ton, to complete her education and as she
had to go by stage coach, it is supposed
that she met John Hazzard at some stop-
ping place in Rhode Island, where the
family lived. She was very handsome and
accomplished, and became proficient in
dancing, among other things, and this did
not exactly suit the staid people of Greens-
farms. Her father was the richest Wake-
man of that century, so far as known, and
her grandfather, Joseph, came next in
point of wealth, but was much the most
prominent in public life. Her second hus-
band, Moss Kent, was father of the well
known Chancellor Kent, of New York.

the De Burgh family, one of the oldest in Ireland.
They were originally Crusaders, and Sir Herbert
DeBurgh is mentioned at the Siege of Acre, in Pal-
estine. He fought with Richard Coeur de Lion.
Their names are in the Domesday book. The De-
Burgh's were originally of French extraction.
Henry III of England, appointed one of his nobles —
Sir Herbert DeBurgh to take charge of Ireland.
He was given control of Connaught and settled in
Galway. They were Earls in those days. Their
estates were confiscated by Cromwell and they be-
came adherents of the Stuarts. The estates were
afterwards restored.

dricks, but found no one there, so they went across the
lots to Wakeman 's home where they found Mrs. Hen-
dricks helping Mrs. Wakeman in spinning yarn and the
boys and girls were all helping Jeremiah harvest the
buckwheat. David had much ground prepared for corn
in the spring before he went to war, and as Jeremiah
could not take care of it all, if planted, he utilized some
of it with buckwheat. So that while David did not
leave his plow in the furrow, he left corn unplanted.
The two families of Wakeman and Hendricks helped
each other during the war. He m. Feb. 17, 1754, in Fair-

THE WAKEMAN CHESTNUT TREE.
This old and traditionally well known tree is now
standing on the second cross highway, the present
boundary line between Fairfield and Easton, and is
a large and old tree that dates back to earliest Col-
onial times. The land opposite the tree belongs to
the family of John Wakeman, who died Nov. 1897.
He inherited the property in the direct line of de-
scent from Capt. John Wakeman, who in turn re-
ceived it from the estate of his father, Rev. Samuel
Wakeman, to whom it had been granted from the
public Colonial lands. This is an unusual case of
THE WAKEMAN CHESTNUT TREE.
Still standing on land granted to Rev. Samuel Wakeman.

land remaining in the same family for over 200
years. The tree has been known as the "Wake-
man Chestnut Tree" for generations, and is un-
doubtedly much older than 200 years, and is one of
the original forest trees of the Colony. The late
Rev. Samuel Nichols used to say that when he was
a boy and went to school he often ate his dinner
under its shade, and when he was an old man he
said that he could see little difference in the size of
the tree then from what it was in his boyhood
(about 1810).

Asa Squire was a British soldier and moved with his
wife to Vermont, in the middle of winter, with
three children, and lived in a log house for several
years. They had not a chair in the house for three
years after they went there. They raised their grain
and had to go forty miles to a grist mill. She used
up all the thread she carried with her and then
raveled out her cotton stockings for thread to use.
Her nearest neighbor was a mile away. Her father
was not in favor of the match, but gave him all the
land he would clear up. He afterwards moved to
Ohio.

34. Gideon Wakeman,& of Bedford, N. Y., was a
graduate of Yale, 1759, and was the hero of the Hasty
Pudding story.
The Hasty Pudding story is about as follows: One
day when Gideon Wakeman was about to go to his
class in college for recitation, he had occasion to
pass through the kitchen, where an old mammy
was making hasty pudding, and as he was always
bent on some mischief, together with an abiding
desire to raise Cain generally, he hastily filled his
pockets with the hot hasty pudding concoction, and
with bulging pockets, proceeded sedately into the
class room. Instantly the professor exclaimed:
"What have you in your pockets, sir?" "Pud-
ding, professor." "What?" "Pudding, sir."
Thereupon the irate professor rushed down upon
Gideon, exclaiming, "I'll pudding you!" and
thrust his hand deep into Gideon's pocket. What
followed can be imagined, for in 1759 "our spe-
cial artist was not on the spot," neither was the
snap shot. And all physicians agree that hot mush
makes an excellent poultice, being one of the best,
because of its great ability to retain heat.

and money in elderberry bushes. They found a
house in Weston, deserted by the owners, and
went in there for the night. About midnight the
British came along, and after eating up all their
provisions, went on and left them unmolested.
The British were dressed in red and gold military
uniforms which sparkled in the sun, so that it was
a dazzling sight to look on them. Mr. Wakeman's
daughter Abigail, kept money in gold for the Brit-
ish, two stacks like hay mounds in her room up
stairs. This was in the old Capt. Wakeman house

troops, being appointed ensign in the 4th Conn. Regt.,
October, 1769, and lieutenant May 1774. He also

the 6th Company, 4th Regt., January, 1778, Col. Whit-
ing's Regt., 4th Militia, Lieut. -Col. Jonathan Dimon,
and served at Peekskill, 1777. Captain Stephen Wake-
man, who served before and during the Revolution,
lived in Greensfarms in an old house back of where Mr.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 201
Fairchild now lives. He sold this place in March,
1789. In the deed he is mentioned as of Balston, N.Y.,
where he had been to found a new home, from which
trip he returned to Greensfarms with his daughter
Mary on horseback, and received the money for his old
home. Before leaving Greensfarms he called on Sarah
Whitehead, who was engaged to his son Stephen (she
m. him June 29, 1789), and expressed the pleasure
they felt that she would soon join them in their new
home. His daughter Mary preferred to return by boat
on the Hudson, so he started to go on horseback, and
stopped at Squire Adam's inn in Weston. Miss Grace
Cable was staying there at the time, and has told her
descendants her recollections of it: that Asa Belden,
of Wilton, was also there that day, and after a pleasant
stay Capt. Wakeman started to go, but was urged to
remain over night. He said no, that he wanted to join
Short Molly that night; so he went out and saddled his
horse and started. Asa Belden went out immediately
after, and Mr. Wakeman was never seen again. As he
did not return to his home at Burnt Hills, near Balston
Spa, his wife went to Connecticut on horseback to find
him, taking her son Stephen with her. At Albany they
consulted a clairvoyant, who told them that Capt.
Wakeman had purchased a couple of speckled handed
jackknives for his boys. She gave them a few more
statements and asked them to come again, but that they
must keep it in confidence. They found the purchase
of the jackknives was true, but did not keep quiet; so
when they returned she refused to tell any more. An-
other account says that Belden overtook him, or way-
laid him with an axe that he was cutting wood with,
and when Capt Wakeman spoke of the fine springs at
Balston, replied that he had one that was fine, and
wanted Capt. Wakeman to drink of it, and while he was
drinking, Belden killed him and threw his body in an
202 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
old well and filled it up (some say it was an old mine).
It was also said years after that Belden was trying to
cheat his sister, Mrs. Hull, of Redding, out of her pat-
rimony, and in her anger she accused him of murdering
Capt. Wakeman, and said she washed his bloody shirt.
He was arrested, and she gave evidence against him in
court. Then he settled with her, and she signed a
libel, and asserted that her statements were made in
anger and wholly false; so nothing could be done.
Some time after this Belden was taken sick, and wanted
to have Mrs. Wakeman sent for, but his family would
not consent, as they said that he was crazy. He seemed
to be in great distress of mind, and the doctor said that
it was some secret that he wished to reveal, and that
he should have a chance to do so. He said that he
could not die in peace until he had confessed it to the
doctor, whom he told about killing Capt. Wakeman,
and putting the body in a well and filling it up. After
Belden was dead, the doctor had the well dug out to
satisfy himself of the truth of the story, and found the
bones there, but none of the money was recovered.
Moses Jennings was hired to care for Belden during his
illness, and was put under bonds not to reveal anything
Belden might say. Belden died in 1828 or 1829.
Capt. Wakeman stopped at his sister's, Mrs. Benja-
min Banks, of Greenfield, and started from there on his
return trip to Balston Spa. Mrs. Craft says that wThen
she was in Wilton she learned for a fact that Belden
buried the body of Capt. Wakeman under that part of
his house where there was no cellar, and it is said that
Belden 's bed stood over this place.
It is said that when Asa Belden was ill he had a
young man who was a neighbor of his write a letter for
him to Benjamin Banks or his wife, and that in this
letter Belden made confession of the murder of Capt.
Stephen Wakeman, and that the body would be found
under a certain heap of stones.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 203
This young man is also said to have written or told
Mr. Banks that he had better put an attachment on Mr.
Belden's place. It is also said that some of the Belden
family got wind of this letter, and went to Mr. Banks,
who was old, and got possession of the letter.
The papers that disappeared with Capt. Wakeman
caused his family much trouble, as some were receipts
for money that had to be paid again. Capt. Wakeman
deeded, April 20, 1789, land in Weston to his wife
Mary. This land came from her father. She sold it in
1 791 to John and Samuel Lord.

Co., Third Regt., Conn. Light Horse, under Major
Starr. He enlisted at Danbury, Aug. 20, 1780, and
was discharged Jan. 1, 1781. His regiment was one of
the four organized in May, 1776, from the twenty-four
troops of Light Horse then in existence. When his
father, David Wakeman, returned home from the war
he was too fatigued to help his son gather the crops, and
when Jeremiah wanted to enlist, his father would not
consent that he should go in the militia on account of
the great hardships, but when there was a call for
mounted men, Jeremiah was allowed to go and join the
troops, and served much longer than his father. He m.

66*- Abijah Wakeman,6 of Greenfield, was a soldier
in the war of 18 12, in October and November, 18 14.
His father gave him a vessel which he built for him
when Abijah was eighteen. He worked hard to build
the boat, going on horseback after his day's work was
done, to the forge in Redding, to get iron and bring-
ing back what he could. The vessel was lost after a few
trips; Mr. Sturges was captain. Abijah then came
home, learned saddle-making and moved to New York
state. He m. May 27, 1802, Mary Buckley (b. 1788;
d. Oct. 29, 1826), and begat,

She died at her brother's at Oyster Bay, N. Y., and
was a native of Greenfield Hill. Under circum-
stances of singular difficulties she prepared herself
as a teacher and was sustained by the convictions
of early piety and the friends they gained for her.
In commencing her career as a teacher in New York
City, and vicinity, she began her public work with
Principal McElligott of the old Mechanics School,
which antedated and helped to prepare for the suc-
cess of our public school system. For many years
after it was suspended she conducted, very success-
fully, a school for young ladies in New York City.
She was active in the sunday school of the Presby-
terian church under the pastorship of Drs. Potts,
Philips and J. W. Alexander, at Duane and Church
streets, who upheld at that day, on the west side of
the city, the cause of religion and education. They
were the active supports of a widespread influence,
the results of which still survive, although its pro-
moters seem to have vanished as completely as the
old church. She afterwards conducted a parochial
school near New Hamburgh, N. Y., and later
taught in Astoria, N. Y., until failing health pre-
vented. She will be remembered by those who
knew her for her faithful and consistent Christian
life and her devotion to the duties of every situa-
tion in which she was called to act.

Sullivan Co. )
On the tenth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and
thirty-two, personally appeared in open Court before the Court
of Common Pleas of the said County of Sullivan now sitting,
Jabez Wakeman, a resident of the town of Fallsburgh in the
County of Sullivan and State of New York aforesaid, aged seventy
years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his
oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit
of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1S32. That he entered the
service of the United States, and served as herein stated ; that he
was born in the town of Fairfield, County of Fairfield and State of
Connecticut, on the tenth day of May, one thousand seven hun-
dred and sixty-two, as he believes and as it appears by his family
bible now at his home ; that when called into service he lived in
said town of Fairfield, and since the Revolutionary war resided
in Redding in said County of Fairfield twelve or fourteen years,
and then moved to the town of Thompson, now in the said town
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 237
of Fallsburgh, where he has lived ever since. That in the year
1777 he was drafted in the Militia and served three months in
Captain Ebenezer Hill's company, of which Lewis Goodsell was
Lieutenant, and in the regiment commanded by Colonel Jonathan
Dimon, and served out the said turn on the lines. In 1778 he en-
listed with Captain Eliphalet Thorp, Samuel Taylor, Lieutenant,
belonging to Colonel Webb's Regiment of Militia, and served six
months, kept guard on Sheppard's point an performed various
other duties, and served as Sergeant in said Company for six
months. In 1779 enlisted for one year as Sergeant in an Artil-
lery Company of Militia Commanded by Captain Eliphalet Thorp,
Lieutenant Samuel Sturgis and Isaac Jarvis in said Colonel
Dimon's Regiment, and served the whole time as Sergeant. At
Black Rock Fort was in the following different engagements,
viz.: When the British landed at Fairfield, at Ridgefield when
Danbury was burnt, at Cumber Hill when Greens Farms were
burnt, also when Norwalk was burnt and a number of skirmishes
on the lines. In the year 1780 served for three months under
Captain Jabez Botsford and Lieutenant Dunkins on the lines near
Horseneck. Besides the above regular service he frequently
volunteered in Colonel Sheldon's Regiment, and also on board of
whale boats commanded by Captain Brewster ; was wounded in
the wrist in the taking of Captain Hoyt, a Tory, who commanded
a British privateer, and generally lay at or near Hamburgh;
never received any written discharge, and believes that none were
given to the Militia in that quarter.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or
annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on
the pension roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
Jabez Wakeman.
Jesse M. Foster,
Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas.
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion after the in-
vestigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories
prescribed by the War Department, that the above named appli-
cant was a revolutionary soldier and served as he states ; and the
Court further certifies that the said David Hammond, who has
signed the preceding certificate, is a resident of the Town of
Thompson, adjoining the Town of Fallsburgh, which has lately
been taken off of the Town of Thompson in that part where the
applicant resides, and that Daniel Crawford, who has also signed

was a man of prominence and good business ability,
being interested in various enterprises. He had a gen-
eral store in Southport, and ran a line of boats from
there to other ports. He was an original director of the
Bridgeport Bank in 1807, and served on the board
twenty-one years. He was collector of internal rev-
enue for the district in which Fairfield is located, from
1815 to 1818. He was also largely interested in the
Turnpike Co., that built and owned a section of the new
turnpike between New York and New Haven; this sec-
tion being the one lying between Stamford and Bridge-
port. He was also interested with Mr. E. Jesup and
Mr. Bronson, in buying up some of the fire land scrip
issued by the Government to recoup losers by the Brit-
ish during the wars. He obtained government land for
this scrip, locating it in Northern Ohio, the Western
Reserve. As one result the present town of Wakeman,
Ohio, was named for him. He d. in May, 1844, leaving

WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 257
The following Bear story with James Wakeman (see
No 211) as one of the principal actors, was supplied
by Mr. G. B. Wakeman, of Unadilla, N. Y. :
"During the winter of 181 5, big black bears had de-
pleted the sheep of James Wakeman, grandfather
of the writer. Mr. Wakeman had made a number
of attempts at shooting these big bears, but without
success, and finally concluded to try the virtues of
a bear trap possessed by his brother Benjamin.
The trap was accordingly set in the woods and a
carcass of a sheep, lately deceased, was placed in
the crotch of a sapling near by, and the trap deftly
. covered with leaves. On the fourth morning there-
after, as Mr. Wakeman was casually strolling in
that immediate vicinity, he was pleased to notice
that a big black bear of the male persuasion was
caught in the trap by a rear leg, the trap having
been fastened to a large log of wood to prevent it
from being carried away without leaving a trail.
Mr. Wakeman went home with speed and from
thence to the house of his brothers, Benjamin, John
and Abel, whom he informed of the interesting situa-
tion. The four hastily repaired to the woods, and
as Mr. Wakeman wished to take the big black bear
alive, he made the following proposition which was
agreed upon by all: 'John, you cut a good withe
and make it into a running noose which you can
get over the bear's head.' The bear in the mean-
time had been prodded with saplings and had been
rushing at the four brothers until he had gotten
near the edge of the woods from which no amount
of urging or torture would tempt him. The log at-
tached to the strap was finally made fast, when the
fun began in earnest. John finally got his noose
over the bear's head and immediately snubbed it
around a tree. ' Now boys,' said Mr. Wakeman,
'we have him. I have here some cord to tie him
with ; now Abel I want you to take enough in your
teeth to tie his hind legs together, and Benjamin
and I will each rush in and each take one of his fore
legs. Remember, this boys, we have all got to
hang on, for if one lets go his hold the others are
going to get hurt. Now then, all ready, catch

him ! ' The three rushed in and each caught his
leg as directed and a lively tussle ensued lasting at
least some time, and I have heard my grandfather
say, that he never in all his life saw ' stars ' so fast
as he did while the bear was threshing his and Ben-
jamin's heads together. The bear was finally tied,
and a sapling run through his legs lengthwise of his
body. The brothers then shouldered him and car-
ried him to the house. A jointed ring was made
and put about his leg, and he was tied to a tree in
the back yard where he was kept about two years,
and finally shot by grandfather and it weighed 323
pounds."

(From the New York Times, June 30, 1889.)
Abram Wakeman, one of the active contemporaries
of Thurlow Weed, William H. Seward, Horace
Greeley, Henry J. Raymond and Preston King in
the organization of the old Republican party, died
280 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
early yesterday morning at his residence, 46 East
Twentieth street in this city, after an illness of
more than three months from a complication of
painful ailments, succumbing finally to rheumatic
gout.
Mr. Wakeman was born May 31, 1824, at Fairfield,
Conn. His beginnings in life were much like those
of the average New England youth. He was
schooled at the academy in Fairfield, which was
founded by Prof. Timothy Dwight, who is now the
President of Yale University. At fourteen years
of age he started out to make his way in the world
alone and unassisted. He taught school at first at
New Rochelle, and afterward in Lockport, N. Y.,
and then, resuming his studies, was graduated
from Herkimer Academy. Then he studied law
with Capron & Lake at Little Falls. Coming to
New York city in 1S46, he continued his law studies
with Horace Holden, and a year later was admitted
to practice and to a partnership with Mr. Holden.
Mr. Wakeman early took an active interest in poli-
tics, supporting with ardor the candidates of the
Whig party. In 1850 he was elected a member of
the legislature from the Fifth Ward, and was re-
elected in 1851. His legislative record was distin-
guished by successful efforts to secure a revision of
the public school laws. He also supported Hamil-
ton Fish in his election to the United States Senate.
In 1854 he was elected alderman from the Twelfth
ward on the reform ticket, and was largely instru-
mental the same year in securing the election of
Gov. Preston King, the Free Soil and American
party candidate. In 1856 he was a member of the
Republican National Convention that nominated
Gen. John C. Fremont tor president, and was a
member of the national committee from this state
during the twelve succeeding years. He himself
was elected to Congress in 1856 as the candidate of
the Free Soil and American parties, that subse-
quently became merged in the Republican party.
For a few years he continued the active practice of
the law, his firm being Wakeman, Latting &
Phelps, the junior member of which was the minis-
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 281
ter of the United States to the Court of St. James',
under Mr. Cleveland's administration.
Mr. Wakeman attracted the favorable attention of
Mr. Lincoln in the campaign of i860, and although
he had been a supporter of William H. Seward
in the convention, a warm friendship sprang up be-
tween " Big Abe" and " Little Abe," as they famil-
iarly called each other, and continued until Mr. Lin-
coln's tragic death. At the outbreak of the war
Mr. Wakeman raised a regiment of volunteers, the
Eighty-first Pennsylvania, and was appointed its
colonel, but he resigned the position at President
Lincoln's earnest request to become postmaster of
tais city. The administration thought he could do
better service in helping to keep down the fire in
the rear in those troublous times, and in doing this
Mr. Wakeman was exposed to many dangers. Dur-
ing the draft riots he was marked for a victim by
the rioters, and had his residence, containing his
large law library, in Eighty-seventh street, near
Fifth avenue, burned by them. As postmaster he
reorganized the service and established the district
system, which remains in force at this day. During
Mr. Lincoln's second term and to the end of John-
son's term Mr. Wakeman was surveyor of the Port
of New York, but having sided with Seward in his
stand by the Johnson Administration, he incurred
the enmity of a branch of the party, and from that
time on was out of politics. The pride of his after-
life was that he had retained throughout their lives
the trusted friendship of Lincoln and Seward.
After his retirement from politics Mr. Wakeman re-
sumed the practice of law and became actively in-
terested in railroads on Long Island. He organized
the Bay Ridge and Manhattan Beach Roads, and
was largely instrumental in establishing and im-
proving the pleasure resorts on Coney Island. He
sold his interest in all these enterprises to Austin
Corbin and other members of the purchasing syn-
dicate. Mr. Wakeman was twice married. His
first wife and one of her children were burned in
the Cambridge fiats fire several years ago. There
survive Mr. Wakeman his second wife and two of

153* Thaddeus Burr Wakeman,7 was one of the first
settlers of McHenry Co., 111., at what was known as
Big Foot Prairie. Here he eventually became one of
the wealthiest and most successful farmers and land
owners in that section. He became Justice of the
Peace, and moved later to Harvard, 111. , and built up a
good law practice. He was one of the most active and
uncompromising abolitionists in Northern Illinois, and
spent a large portion of his property before and during
the Civil War, for the furtherance of freedom. He was
sent to the Legislature in 1867, and later established
himself in Chicago, where he followed his practice of
law. He was noted for open-handed generosity and
uprightness of purpose and attained the rare distinction,
for a man who had taken so active a part in political
and other affairs, of going through life without making
an enemy. He m. in Tully, N. Y. , Sept. , 1835, Hannah

1838, dau. of David Judson. He m. second, Irene Cole-
man, May 20, 1 89 1, dau. of Joseph Coleman. He d. at
Campbell, May 24, 1898. He was born at Rhinebeck,
and at the age of twelve moved with his father to Hec-
tor, N. Y. In 1832 he came to Prattsburg, N. Y.,
where he worked at the trade of wagon making. In
the great revival which prevailed there from 1828 to
1832 he was converted, and united with the Presbyterian
Church with seventy-two others, several of whom en-
tered the ministry. He studied at Prattsburg Academy
and at Auburn Seminary from 1841 to 1844. After
supplying the church at Dansville a few months, he ac-
cepted a call to Almond, where he preached for twenty-
one years, building up a strong church. He preached
in Painted Post, from 1865 to 1868; Campbell 1868 to
1872; at Almond again, 1872 to 1874; and at Milburn,
1874 to 1879. He then retired, living in Painted Post
until four years ago, when he moved to Campbell to
spend his remaining years with an adopted daughter.
He was very active in the temperance and anti-slavery
movements, and a very popular speaker. He was also
much sought after in revival work. He wrote two vol-
umes on temperance, viz.: "The Satanic License,"
which was widely circulated, and " The Golden Horn."
He received the degree of D.D. from Alfred Univer-
sity. In 1862 he recruited a company in the i32d Reg-
iment, of which he became captain. After his discharge
from disability he served on the Christian Commission.
He preserved his faculties to the last in a ripe,
useful, and cheerful old age.

I cannot do better here than to give the following
sketch of Mr. Talcott B. Wakeman, from the pen of
his friend, the Hon. T. S. Gold, of West Cornwall,
Conn.
" I am happy to recall my memory of my old time
friend, Talcott B. Wakeman, and give a few lines
as my testimony to those characteristics of the man
as he appeared to me. Mr. Wakeman had a genu-
ine love for his calling — agriculture — and was an
honor to it by its successful prosecution. Though
educated in the old time ways of the early part of
the nineteenth century, he kindly and readily
sought and accepted the teachings of modern
science. His farming was thorough and his execu-
tive ability in conducting his affairs, and managing
his men, rendering labor efficient, excited my ad-
miration. He had no use for the idle or inefficient.
He made short work with any of that class that
sought employment. Skillful and industrious him-
self, he encouraged and developed the same spirit
in others ; everything was kept in order on his prem-
CAPT. WILLIAM W. WAKEMAN.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 309
ises. Yet he found time for his public duties as a
citizen and his sterling integrity gave weight to his
counsels. Connecticut agriculture depends more
for its prosperity upon such men as was Mr. Wake-
man, than upon the natural advantages of the state
in soil, climate, or location. Such examples should
ever be remembered and honored as an encourage-
ment to ' keep the boys on the farm ' if they are fit
for the business. Farming is a hard business for
those who have no love for husbandry, who can see
no beauty or pleasure in rural life. I view Mr.
Wakeman as having a heart as large and free as
was his physical frame, who will always live in the
kindly memory of those who knew him."

Captain William Webb Wakeman, when a young
man, was engaged in business with his father at
Mill River, now Southport, Conn., where his early
life was spent. He branched out for himself after
a short period, and became master of his own ves-
sel, which was employed in the coasting trade be-
tween New York, Boston, and Salem, Mass.
During this period of his business life his vessel was
wrecked near Holmes Hole, Mass., and in this
emergency his characteristic coolness and deter-
mination were strongly manifested ; for every man
on board was sent ashore in safety before he con-
sented to leave his vessel.
He was next engaged in the coasting trade between
New York and Georgetown, D. C, and at a later
period extended the business to Savannah, Ga.,
and Galveston, Texas, where regular lines were
established under the name of the Star line. Mr.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 311
Wakeman was at the same time extensively en-
gaged in the East India and China trade under the
firm name of Wakeman, Dimon & Co., which he
organized. This firm was one of the first to send
vessels to California after its annexation to the
United States.
At the outbreak of the war of the Rebellion, in i860,
steamships were added to the prosperous lines of
sailing vessels, which were employed by the gov-
ernment as United States transports.
About this time the firm name was changed to that
of Wakeman, Gookin & Dickinson, but subse-
quently to W. W. Wakeman & Co.
After the close of the war a line of steamships was
established between New York and Savannah, Ga.,
under the old name of the Star line, which was
maintained for several years. In addition to their
heavy shipping interests, this house became largely
interested in gold and silver mines in California
and Nevada, and at one time acted as New York
agents for various mines.
Mr. Wakeman was by nature a man of marked
energy and force of character, and thus made his
influence felt, and often paramount, in whatever he
undertook. These qualities not only gave him suc-
cess in business, but made him a valuable acquisi-
tion to any cause which he espoused.
In all public movements that promised moral and
material improvement to those among whom he
lived he was ever ready, by personal effort and
generous contributions, to render efficient aid.
He strongly advocated and was one of the committee
to erect a suitable building for a graded public
school in Southport during the years 1851 and 1852.
He was one of the original trustees of the South-
port Savings Bank when it was organized in 1854,
and at a later period a director of the Shoe and
Leather Bank in New York city. He was an in-
corporator and original trustee of the Oak Lawn
Cemetery Association of Southport, Conn., and
was ever deeply interested in its development and
success. He became a member of the Southport
Congregational Church in the year 1847, and a
deacon in 1849.
312 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
His church life, like his daily life, was earnest and
faithful wherever duty called, allowing no ordinary
obstacle to hinder or defeat its conscientious per-
formance. True to his convictions, prompt in his
engagements, and with open-handed bounty to the
poor and needy, he was always found a staunch
friend on the side of right and justice, and an out-
spoken foe to whatever he esteemed to be wrong.
His works live after him, not only in his wholesome
example and consistent religious life, but in his
testamentary benefactions to the church and to the
leading benevolent institutions of the day, bearing
testimony to his interest in those objects which in
later years lay very near his heart.
He passed from mortal life to the immortal at his
home in New York city, April 19, 1869, to which he
returned smitten with a fatal malady from Cali-
fornia, where important business had summoned
him a few months previous, and when realizing his
critical condition, with heroic resolution, com-
menced immediate preparation for the long sea
voyage home from San Francisco to New York,
which he patiently endured, and with deep grati-
tude and satisfaction reached the haven which he
earnestly longed to gain ere life should end. The
desire was granted, and, surrounded by his family,
his last hours were passed in the home which was
ever the nucleus of his keenest happiness.
204. Maurice Wakeman,7 of Southport, Conn. He
was in the flour business in Boston, in the early '30's,
and later became interested in realty in Brooklyn. He
went to Chicago in 1836, on horseback, and became
largely interested in real estate in Oswego, Buffalo,
Cleveland and Chicago, mostly at the latter place, and
in some adjacent towns. In 1837 the panic caused his
failure for a large amount. He recovered some of the
land by his father's aid, and settled in Southport, Conn.,
in 1846. Thereafter he followed his scholarly tastes
and love of literature and English poetry, having his
library stocked with the standard works. He also took
much interest in the political affairs of the world and

It appears that there was a settlement prior to
1758-9 in New Paltz, Ulster County, N. Y., of some of
the Wakeman name, who are not descended from John
of New Haven. As the settlement was principally
Dutch, and the records kept by Dutch scribes, the
name was variously spelled by them. Below is given
such data as has been obtained from these records
through the kindness of Miss Annie R. Winfield, fol-
lowed by such subsequent lineage as has been obtained.

APPENDIX.
ADDITIONAL ENGLISH DATA.
HP HE following data was procured by Mr. Emory
* McClintock, by personal research in the British
Museum, in the Spring of 1900. It shows, as he says
in a personal letter, that "It would appear that our
uncle John was Prior when the Abbacy became vacant,
and hurried to London to see about it; that Cromwell
held up the ' temporalities ' until he could secure a sat-
isfactory man for Abbot ; that John agreed to be satis-
factory ; that Cromwell sent inspectors to threaten the
election of a stranger unless the monks allowed the
King to choose among themselves; and that after six
days' caucusing the monks gave up their right to elect
on a compromise by which the King should not choose
a stranger. "
" The letter of John to Kingston the moment it was
over shows that the whole thing was cut and dried."
LETTERS OF ABBOT WAKEMAN IN GAIRDNER'S LETTERS
AND PAPERS, HENRY VIII. (POLITICS OF THE PERIOD.)
Vol. VII., 189: 11 April, 1534. John Wyche, prior
of Tewkesbury, to Sir Will Kingston: "I thank you
for your great diligence in my behalf at my last being
in London for the election. On Tuesday, 7 April, Dr.
Tregonwell and Dr. Bagard delivered to me and the
382 WAKEMAN GENEALOGY.
convent the King's letters. When I had read the same
before my brethren, we returned the King hearty
thanks, and on the morrow, observing that we were re-
ferred to their credence, I was informed by them that
we should take the form of a compromise in our elec-
tion, referring the matter to the King's pleasure, which
we did, four only excepted."
Vol. VI.: 1533 [error for 1534], n April, Tewkes-
bury. John Tregonwell and Thos. Bagard to Crom-
well: "We have this instant obtained the election of
the abbot of Tewkesbury by compromise. As it was
noised among the brethren that great labor and suit
were made for a stranger to be abbot, we could not by
all our policy during these six days obtain more, unless
we had promised that one of their own convent should
be abbot. We were the more ready to consent, because
you told me, John Tregonwell, at my departure, that
the King did not intend to prefer a stranger, and that
such a compromise would not be unacceptable. We
beg you will move the King to respect our promise. "
Petition of Convent, 6 May, 1534: royal assent at
Greenwich May 15: ratified "with restitution of tem-
poralities" 10 June, 1534. (It would seem that his
majesty held up the " temporalities " till he was suited
with the election.)
Vol. IX., 229: 24 Oct., 1535. John, Abbot of Tewkes-
bury, to Cromwell: "I thank you for your goodness
at my preferment, and for your loving commendations
to the King when he was at Tewkesbury, as yet unde-
served of me." Says he sends Cromwell a horse and
^20 to buy a saddle.
King Henry signed a patent from the Monastery at
Tewkesbury on 29 July, 1535.
WAKEMAN GENEALOGY. 383
HOW THE WAKEMANS MAY HAVE GOT THEIR LANDS IN
GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
Dugdale's Monasticon, II., 84, 85, mentions among
lands belonging to Tewkesbury abbey the following
places: Sonthwike, Muyth, Forthampton, and Didcot,
the latter in parish of Beckford.
Tanner's Notitia Monastica, article "Tewkesbury,"
says that the Abbey had "lands in Becford" — not the
Beckford Priory lands.
Fosbrooke's Gloucestershire, II., 280: "The demesne
of the manor of Tewkesbury in this place [Mythe] .
was granted to Daniel and Alexander Perte, who had
license (Pat. 7 Edw. VI.) to alienate to Will Thorneby
and Rich. Wakeman." This seems to have been sepa-
rate from the Abbey lands in the Mythe, which seem
to have been in Richard's possession earlier. A patent
of 1 Edw. VI., refers to lands in the Mythe which had
been "in the tenure of Rich. Tyndall and Rich. Wake-
man."
List of "Pentions," 12 Jan., 31 Henry VIII., in Dug-
dale II., 83: "J. Wakeman, late abbot, to have the
house of Forthampton with the demaynes belonging to
the same and the tithes of the tenants of Forthampton
aforesaid and Swynle in ferme for the yerely rent of
^8:13 :i," and pension per annum of ^266 113:8.
Atkyns' Gloucestershire indicates that Richard of
Beckford bought much of his land from Coningsby, who
married heiress of Sir R. Lee. This purchase seems to
have been late in the sixteenth century. Perhaps he
began with some small holdings, favored by the Bishop.
